§ 27-35-159. Tax delinquent lands; change in assessment.
In all cases where lands have been or which may hereafter be struck off to the state for delinquent taxes and the time for redemption has expired, and said lands have been stricken from the list of state lands for any cause provided by law, the board of supervisors of the county in which said lands are situated may, upon petition of the owner or the assessor or any person interested in the land, change, correct, revise and re-value the assessments of said land for each of the years for which the taxes have not been paid, and the board of supervisors may enter an order directing that such assessments as changed, corrected, revised and/or re-valued shall be entered upon the assessment roll in force for the year in which the order is entered, whereupon the tax assessor, or tax collector in the event the roll is in the hands of the tax collector at the time, shall enter such assessments on the roll in the manner as additional assessments are now made, and the tax collector shall collect the taxes on such assessments as other taxes are collected.
The payment of the taxes as herein provided shall cancel all liens and satisfy all claims of the state, county, levee districts and other taxing districts, against said lands for the taxes for the respective years for which the said taxes are paid.
