A. The tax collector is directed to accept the payment of pro rata taxes on property purchased in full ownership for rights-of-way or other purposes by the state of Louisiana or any of its political subdivisions and more particularly the Department of Transportation and Development, for the period of time for which the liability for taxes have been due by the private owner or owners of the property.
B. The tax collector is authorized to accept the payment of the pro rata taxes on property, regardless of whether the tax roll has been filed.
