|A. The county excise board shall meet on the first Monday of July of each year, or on such earlier date in the year as determined by the excise board, for the purpose of performing the duties required of it by law, and shall meet from day to day until all of the levies shall have been fixed and the appropriations approved. |B. As used in this section, "municipality" or "municipal subdivision" shall mean a taxing jurisdiction authorized by law to levy ad valorem taxes.C. It shall be the duty of said board to certify the levies of each municipality to the county assessor on the same date that such levies are fixed; and it shall be the duty of the county assessor to proceed to extend such levies on his tax rolls immediately upon receipt of such certificates, without regard to any protest that may be filed against any levy. It shall further be the duty of the county assessor to deliver the tax rolls to the county treasurer when the same shall have been completed, and at the same time, to file a true and correct abstract of such tax rolls with the county clerk. The county clerk shall charge the county treasurer with the amount contained in said abstract. Should there be any correction or change in the levy of any municipality, after such levy has been certified by the county excise board to the county assessor, regardless of whether such change is made by order of the county excise board or by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall be the duty of the county assessor to deliver the tax rolls to the county treasurer, without regard to such change; and it shall be the duty of the county treasurer, with the assistance of the county assessor, to make the necessary corrections on the tax rolls after the same shall have been delivered to the said county treasurer.D. The county excise board shall fix the levies and make the appropriations of each municipality within fifteen (15) days after the financial statement and estimate of any such municipality is filed, unless the valuations of the county, and the municipal subdivisions thereof, have not been certified to it; and, in that event, said excise board shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such valuations. If any such municipality extends into a county for which the valuations have not been certified, it shall be the duty of the county excise board to fix the levies and make appropriations for such municipality based upon the certified valuation of the other county for the preceding year. Such municipality shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the certified valuations of the other county or counties to request modification of the appropriations.E. It shall be the duty of the county assessor in the preparation of the tax roll to separately list and extend on the rolls all real property by separately listing all city and town lots and all other real property in subdivisions of a quarter of a quarter of a section, or less, if such subdivisions are owned in less quantity, describing the same in the usual and customary manner, or by metes and bounds and showing the value of all buildings and improvements on each separate and distinct piece of property. The county assessor shall, notwithstanding the filing of any protest against the levies or budgets or the pendency of any procedure with reference to the correctness of the assessment of any property or as to the legality of any levy, complete the tax roll and abstract thereof, and deliver the same to the county treasurer and county clerk, respectively, on or before the first day of October of each year. The county treasurer shall accept the said rolls and upon the date fixed when taxes shall become due and payable the county treasurer shall proceed to collect the taxes as provided by law.Laws 1965, c. 501, § 2; Laws 1980, c. 226, § 9, emerg. eff.
