(3)
An assessment of any real property, in a city of the fourth class, in the name of a
person other than the true owner shall not be invalid, nor shall the lien of the tax be
affected thereby. The assessor or collector, upon learning of the error and after
notifying the true owner by mail, shall correct the assessment in this respect, and all
proceedings for the collection of the tax may then proceed, subject to the right of
the owner to have the valuation corrected at a meeting of the board of supervisors to
be called for that purpose.
If any person fails to give a list of his taxable property when called on by the
assessor, or gives a false or fraudulent list, the assessor shall return him on his
books as a delinquent, and the District Court shall, upon application of the assessor,
issue a rule against the delinquent and compel true answers by process of contempt,
and adjudge against the delinquent the costs of the proceedings.
If any property subject to taxation has not been listed, the city legislative body may
assess it, but not after more than five (5) years elapsed.
