§11A-1-10. Payment by owner of part of tract or lot assessed to
another.
Any person owning a part of a tract or lot, the whole of
which was assessed in the name of another, shall be allowed to
pay the taxes on such part upon complying with the provisions of
this section. He must before payment obtain from the clerk of
the county court a certificate of the transfer of title to him,
which certificate shall contain such information concerning the
transfer as is required for each transfer included in the
certified list provided for in section eight, article four,
chapter eleven of this code. On the basis of the information in
this certificate, he must then have the assessment split and must
secure from the assessor and present to the sheriff a certificate
setting forth the changes made in the assessment. The sheriff
shall make the necessary changes in his records, prepare new tax
bills to conform thereto, and then deliver the certificate to the
clerk of the county court who shall note the changes on his
records.
