Every officer or employee of any political subdivision of this state who in any case knowingly 
refuses to perform any duty enjoined upon the officer or employee by any provision in this title, 
or who consents to or connives at any evasion of the provisions of this title whereby any 
proceeding is prevented or hindered, is guilty of malfeasance in office, and is subject to removal 
from office. Any person aggrieved by the failure of any officer or employee to perform the 
officer's or employee's duties as provided in this title may file a complaint under section 
12.1-11-06. In addition, the state's attorney or any aggrieved party may proceed to obtain a writ 
of mandamus to compel performance by such officer or employee. Any failure of an officer or 
employee to do any act at the particular time specified in this title in no manner invalidates any 
tax levy, or any foreclosure of tax lien, or tax deed.
