Fair market value shall be finally determined for county ad valorem property taxation purposes when all means for administrative and judicial review of the fair market value have been exhausted or are no longer available.
  2. As soon as the fair market value of property within a county is finally determined, such information shall be furnished without charge by the county to the governing authority of each municipality lying wholly or partially within the county.

JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former Civil Code 1910, § 862 are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Property owner is entitled to a hearing at some time before the assessment of the value of the owner's property becomes finally binding, and a statute which attempts to authorize an assessment when the law does not afford the owner such a hearing will be declared unconstitutional.
