The abolition of a municipal corporation under any of the provisions of this chapter shall not relieve the property thereof of liability for the debts of the municipality, but the governing authorities of the municipality shall forthwith make up a statement of the indebtedness of the municipality, if any, and a statement of its assets, and shall certify the same and deliver such statement, together with the records of the municipality, to the chancery clerk of the county in which the municipality is located. The board of supervisors of the county shall levy a special tax upon the property embraced in such municipality so abolished, which shall be in force from year to year so long as may be necessary, and such tax shall be collected by the tax collector of the county. The tax collector shall deposit the funds derived from such levy in a special account in the county treasury, and the same shall be paid to the creditors of such municipality upon order and allowance of claims by the board of supervisors. When all of the indebtedness of the municipality shall have been paid, then such special levy shall be discontinued.
