When the president of the board of supervisors shall receive notice from the Department of Revenue concerning the results of the examination and action taken by the department in regard to the recapitulation of the assessment rolls of his county, he shall immediately call a meeting of the board of supervisors of his county and shall give notice thereof by publication, five (5) days before the date of the meeting and shall set forth in the notice the purpose of the meeting and notifying all taxpayers that at the meeting the board of supervisors will carry out the instructions of the department and that any taxpayer aggrieved by the action of the board may present objections to that action. When the board of supervisors convenes pursuant to the call and notice of the president, it shall proceed to consider the instructions of the Department of Revenue, and if the board be dissatisfied with the decision of the Department of Revenue, the board may, by order, appeal the decision of the department as provided in Section 27-35-113. The members of the board, its attorney, tax assessor and chancery clerk may appear before the Board of Tax Appeals and give evidence with reference to the decision of the department. In its aforesaid order, the board may fix a day for its meeting for the further performance of its duties required under this section. The witnesses shall appear before the Board of Tax Appeals at the location set by the Board of Tax Appeals for the hearing on the board’s appeal at the time established by the Board of Tax Appeals, or they shall lose their right to be heard. The compensation and expenses, if any, shall be paid by the board of supervisors of the county affected. The Board of Tax Appeals shall hear the complaints and objections of any board of supervisors and witnesses and may adopt an order modifying or rescinding the decision of the department as the evidence so requires but not inconsistent with the provisions of Section 27-35-113. Unless appealed, the decision of the department when made shall be final and it shall be the duty of the board of supervisors to immediately take the appropriate action in accordance with the instructions of the department. If the department’s decision is appealed, the decision of the Board of Tax Appeals shall be final and it shall be the duty of the board of supervisors to immediately take the appropriate action in accordance with the decision of the Board of Tax Appeals.
