Sec. 14-40.
Addition of uncollected tax to tax for subsequent year.
If the
tax or assessment on property liable to taxation is prevented from being
collected for any year or years, by a reason other than administrative
error, the amount of the tax or assessment which should
have been paid may be added to the tax on the property for any subsequent year,
in columns designating the year or years.
"Administrative error"
includes but is not limited
to
failure to include
an extension for a taxing district on the tax bill, an error in the
calculations of tax rates or extensions or any other mathematical error by the
county clerk, or a defective coding
by the county, but
does not include a failure by the county to send a tax
bill
to the taxpayer, the failure by the taxpayer to notify the assessor of a
change in the tax-exempt status of property, or any error concerning the
assessment of the property.
