The county assessor of each of the counties shall enter upon the rolls the property in the district assessed and taxed as required by this chapter, a description of such lands subject to assessment by the district, the name of each owner of property and the number of acres of land in each assessment, or if the owners of such lands are unknown, the lands shall be assessed to the unknown owner.
