Title 48, Chapter 3, Section 3.1
( 48-3-3.1)
If the tax collector or tax commissioner reasonably finds that a
taxpayer gives evidence of intention to leave the state, to remove
his or her property from the state, to conceal himself or herself or
his or her property, to discontinue business, or to do any other act
tending to prejudice or render wholly or partly ineffective
proceedings to compute, assess, or collect any ad valorem tax,
whereby it becomes advisable that such proceedings be brought
without delay, the tax collector or tax commissioner shall give
notice of such finding and demand immediate payment of such tax as
may be due. The tax collector or tax commissioner may immediately
make an assessment based on the most recently accepted assessment or
on a tax assessor's assisted assessment and may proceed under the
assessment to collect the tax or require the taxpayer to file with
him or her a bond satisfactory to the tax collector or tax
commissioner as security for payment of the tax. Taxes assessed
under this Code section for any tax year for which millage rates
applicable to the property have not been established at the time of
the assessment shall be based upon the millage rates in effect for
the immediately preceding year. |
