(1) NEW ASSESSMENT. Whenever the assessment roll of any assessment district shall be lost or destroyed
before the second Monday of October in any year and before the
tax roll therefrom has been completed the assessor of such district shall immediately prepare a new roll and as soon thereafter
as practicable make a new assessment of the property in the assessor’s district. If the board of review for such district shall have
adjourned without day before such new assessment is completed
such board shall again meet at a time fixed by the clerk of the
town, city or village, not later than the fourth Monday in October,
and like proceedings shall be had, as near as may be, in reference
to such new assessment and assessment roll as in case of other assessments, and such clerk shall give notice of the time and place
of such meeting of the board of review as is provided in s. 70.47
(2). Such new assessment and assessment roll shall be deemed
the assessment and assessment roll of such assessment district to
all intents and purposes. In case the assessor shall fail to make
such new assessment or the board of review shall fail to meet and
review the same, or any assessment roll is lost or destroyed after
the second Monday in October in any year and before the tax roll
therefrom is completed, or both the assessment roll and tax roll
are lost or destroyed, then the county clerk shall make out and deliver a tax roll in the manner and with like effect as provided in s.
70.71.
(2) SAME. Whenever a tax roll in any town, city or village
shall be lost or destroyed before it has been returned by the treasurer or sheriff holding the same, a new roll shall be prepared in
like manner as the first, and delivered to such treasurer or sheriff,
who shall complete the collection of the taxes and return such
new tax roll in the manner provided for the original tax roll.
