(a) By an order entered in the minutes of the board, direct the county treasurer to correct the error; and
(b) Deliver a copy of the order to the county treasurer, who shall make the necessary adjustments to the tax bill and correct the secured tax roll. The adjustment may be a full refund or a credit against taxes due which may be allocated over a period no longer than 3 years.
