Sec. 8. (a) If a final determination by the Indiana board regarding the assessment or exemption of any tangible property is not affirmed under the decision of the tax court, the matter of the assessment or exemption of the property shall be remanded to the Indiana board with instructions to the Indiana board. The Indiana board may, under the tax court's instructions, conduct further proceedings or refer the matter to the:

(b) The department of local government finance or the county board shall take action on a case referred to it by the Indiana board under subsection (a) not later than ninety (90) days after the date the referral is made. The department of local government finance or the county board may petition the Indiana board at any time for an extension of the ninety (90) day period. An extension shall be granted upon a showing of reasonable cause.
(c) The taxpayer in a case remanded under subsection (a) may petition the tax court for an order requiring the department of local government finance or the county board to show cause why action has not been taken pursuant to the Indiana board's referral under subsection (a) if:
(1) at least ninety (90) days have elapsed since the referral was made;
(2) the department of local government finance or the county board has not taken action on the issues specified in the tax court's decision; and
(3) an appeal of the tax court's decision has not been filed.
(d) If a case remanded under subsection (a) is appealed under section 5 of this chapter, the ninety (90) day period provided in subsection (b) is tolled until the appeal is concluded.
