§68-2869. Extension of tax levies on tax rolls - Delivery of tax rolls to county treasurer - Filing abstract of tax rolls - Correction of levy or tax rolls - Assessor's warrant - Receipt and acceptance of tax rolls - Collection of taxes.

A. It shall be the duty of the county assessor to proceed to extend the tax levies on his tax rolls immediately upon receipt of the certification of such levies from the county excise board, without regard to any protest that may be filed against any levy.

B. 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, which abstract shall be made on forms prescribed by and in the manner required by the State Auditor and Inspector. The county clerk shall charge the county treasurer with the amount contained in said abstract.

C. If there is 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 county treasurer.

D. 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 rolls 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.

E. The county assessor shall attach to the tax rolls his warrant, under his own hand, requiring the county treasurer to collect the taxes in accordance with said tax rolls, and such warrant and tax rolls shall be full and sufficient authority for the collection by the county treasurer of all taxes therein contained. No informality in the foregoing requirement shall render illegal any proceeding for the collection of taxes.

F. The county treasurer shall accept the tax rolls and give his receipt therefor; and upon the date fixed when taxes shall become due and payable to the county treasurer shall proceed to collect the taxes as provided by law.
