§40-5-29. Final report of uncollected balances of insolvent taxes.

At the first regular meeting of the county commission held during the year next succeeding, the collector must make final report of the uncollected balances of such insolvent taxes, showing the name of every insolvent taxpayer from whom he has been unable to collect, the amounts of state and county taxes due from him and an itemized report of the taxes still in litigation; and thereupon, if the commission is satisfied that the collector has made diligent effort to collect such taxes, the commission shall make an order allowing the collector credit for such insolvent taxes as he has been unable to collect and for taxes remaining in litigation and shall credit him with all county taxes included therein; and the presiding officer shall certify the same to the Comptroller, who shall thereupon credit the collector with the state taxes included in the lists so allowed. The account for taxes remaining in litigation shall thereafter be kept in such manner as the Comptroller may prescribe.
