A. If a parcel of real property is assessed in its entirety to one or more persons and part of the property belongs to another person who does not appear on the assessment roll:
1. That person may pay a portion of the whole tax in proportion to the person's interest in the property.
2. The county treasurer shall receive the tax and give a receipt to the person, subject to section 42-18055, subsection C, showing what part of the tax was paid.

After the tax roll is delivered to the county treasurer pursuant to section 42-18003 and after all other means to allocate taxes among parties have been exhausted, the county treasurer may allocate the tax due for parcels of real property that were split or consolidated after September 30 of the valuation year as follows:

2. There shall be no change in the total valuation or classification of the property as determined by the assessor.
3. The total primary and secondary taxes of the new parcel or parcels must be the same as the primary and secondary taxes assessed to the original parcel or parcels.
