AI Summary

This bill amends Section 27-35-143 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to provide that if a tax assessor has knowledge of certain circumstances or occurrences that may affect the assessment of property for ad valorem (property) tax purposes, the assessor shall make an application on behalf of the interested party with the Board of Supervisors to change, cancel, or decrease the assessment. The bill also brings forward related sections of the code for possible amendment. The key change is that the assessor now has a duty to act on the property owner's behalf in certain situations, rather than relying solely on the property owner to apply for a change in assessment.
