A county having power to assess property for tax purposes shall be subject to the provisions of this article in the same manner as if it were a city or town to which this article applies.

In addition, such county shall prepare and maintain approved tax maps in current condition pursuant to the provisions of section five hundred three of this chapter and shall provide copies of such maps to cities, towns and villages in the county that have power to assess property for purposes of taxation.
