(a) In the case of any special franchise exercised beyond the limits of one county, municipality, or school district, the return provided for in this article shall show, as in the case of telegraph lines, telephone lines, railroads, or steamboats, the number of miles over which the railroad, telegraph, telephone, or other franchise is exercised in each county, municipality, and school district. The information required by this Code section shall be shown in the same manner as is required of a public utility for the return of its tangible property.

(b) The valuation for taxation of special franchises in each county, municipality, and school district in or through which the franchise is exercised shall be apportioned to the county, municipality, and school district in the same manner as is provided by law for the apportionment of the tangible personal property of public utilities.

(c) The commissioner shall certify to every municipality and to the taxing authorities of every county the proposed assessment of every special franchise taxable within the county, municipality, or school district in the same manner as is provided by law in the case of public utilities.

(d) Taxes due each county, municipality, or school district on a special franchise shall be assessed, collected, and enforced in the same manner as is provided by law in the case of other taxes due from public utilities to the county, municipality, or school district.
