Copy as parenthetical citation

In all cases where property situated within a municipality has been sold for delinquent taxes, if it shall afterward appear to the governing authorities of such municipality that such sale was void on account of an insufficient or erroneous description, or for other cause, the governing authorities of such municipality may, by resolution entered upon their minutes, declare such sale to be void and thereby relinquish the title or claim of the municipality acquired under or by virtue of such void sale. In such event the governing authorities of such municipality shall be authorized and empowered to cause such property to be properly and legally assessed for each of the years for which such taxes have not been paid, and shall be authorized and empowered to change, revise, correct and revalue such property for each of the years for which such taxes have not been paid, and shall be authorized and empowered to enter a proper order directing that such assessments be changed, revised and corrected, and to cause such changed, revised and corrected assessments to be entered upon the assessment roll in force for the year in which such order is entered. In all such cases notice of such change and correction in the assessment, or of such new assessment, shall be given to the property owner in the manner provided by law, and in such notice a date shall be fixed for hearing objections to such assessment. Such notice may be waived, however, by the property owner. All objections to such changes or new assessments shall be heard at the time designated therefor in such notice, and the governing authorities of such municipality shall then be authorized to enter an order approving such assessments and making the same final, and such property may be sold for such taxes, if necessary, in accordance with law.

This section and Section 21-33-57 shall also apply to all cases of void sales of property for taxes, and the governing authorities, in all cases where a tax sale is void from any cause, may proceed to cause a legal sale to be made, and to cause property to be assessed in all cases after a void sale where assessment may have become necessary, and to cause sale to be made, if necessary, by complying with Sections 21-33-55 and 21-33-57.
