Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) The board of review in all 1st class cities, after they
have examined, corrected and completed the assessment roll of
said city and not later than the first Monday in November, shall
deliver the same to the commissioner of assessments, who shall
thereupon reexamine and perfect the same and make out therefrom a complete tax roll in the manner and form provided by law.
All laws applicable to any such city relating to the making of such
tax rolls shall apply to the making of the tax roll by said commissioner of assessments, except that the work of making said rolls
shall be performed by the assessors and such other employees in
the commissioner of assessments’ office as the commissioner of
assessments shall designate. After the completion of said tax roll
in the manner provided by law, the commissioner of assessments
shall deliver the tax roll to the city treasurer of such city on the
3rd Monday of December in each year.
(1a) If the board of review has not completed its work within
the time limited by the first Monday in November, it shall nevertheless deliver the assessment roll to the commissioner of assessments as therein required, and the commissioner of assessments
shall thereupon perfect the same as though the board of review
had fully completed its work thereon. In any case wherein the
board of review alters the assessment after the first Monday of
November and before the treasurer is required to make the return
of delinquent taxes, the assessment roll and the tax roll may be
corrected accordingly in the manner provided in s. 74.05, except
that the consent of the treasurer shall not be required.
(2) The county clerk of any county having a population of
750,000 or more and containing a city of the 1st class shall deliver the county clerk’s certificates of apportionment of taxes to
the commissioner of assessments instead of the city clerk of such
city.
