and notwithstanding the provisions of sections 1 through 8 of this chapter, for all other civil townships having a population of thirty-five thousand (35,000) or more, for a civil township that falls below a population of thirty-five thousand (35,000) at a federal decennial census that takes effect after December 31, 2001, and for all other civil townships in which a city of the second class is located, the township assessor, or the county assessor if there is no township assessor for the township, shall make the real property lists and the plats described in sections 1 through 8 of this chapter.
(b) In a civil township that attains a population of thirty-five thousand (35,000) or more at a federal decennial census that takes effect after December 31, 2001, the county auditor shall make the real property lists and the plats described in sections 1 through 8 of this chapter unless the township assessor determines to assume the duty from the county auditor.
