6-55-202. Tax suit Jurisdiction.
It is lawful for any incorporated municipality to sue in the chancery court of the county in which it is located for taxes due the municipality upon real estate, whenever the taxes are past due and unpaid. In such suit may be included as many as twenty-five (25) distinct pieces or tracts of land, the owners thereof being made defendants to the bill. Such cause shall not be subject to objection for misjoinder by reason of the distinct interests the several defendants have in the properties proceeded against.
