assessor or any of their deputies, or upon complaint of the
taxpayer, the agent or attorney or any person acting on behalf of
the taxpayer, upon certificate of clerical error issued by the
county assessor to the county treasurer, with a copy to the county
clerk and a copy retained, the county treasurer shall be authorized
to make correction upon the tax rolls of either of the following
specifically enumerated errors of strictly clerical import not
involving valuations assessed and equalized and not involving any
exemption allowed whether of homestead, service in the armed forces,
charitable, educational, religious, or other authorized exemptions,
and which clerical error certificates shall issue only under the
conditions stated as to each, as follows:
1. Error in the name of the person assessed, upon affidavit
verifying the name of the true owner as of October 1 of the taxable
year involved;
2. Error in the address of the person, firm or corporation
assessed, when furnished by such person or a representative of the
firm or corporation;
3. Error in the legal description of real property, when
verified by the county clerk, certifying to the description on his
land records as of January 1 of the taxable year involved;
4. Error in land-list entry, such as section or part thereof,
township, range or of lot or block or of designation of urban
addition, when verified by the county clerk to the land records or
plats on file, as of January 1 of the taxable year involved;
5. Error in the school district designation as of the date when
school district tax levies attached themselves to such property,
when verified by the county assessor certifying to the date, if
after January 1 of such taxable year, when the school district
designation or location changed, or the school district designation
prior to January 1 of such taxable year where no change of the
boundaries of such district was thereafter ordered during such
taxable year. If a school district boundary change occurs after
April 15 of such taxable year, the opinion of the district attorney
as to the applicable school district designation to such property
for purpose of levy of such taxable year shall be attached to the
certification;
6. If the error of school district designation caused the
application of levies not applicable thereto, then also the
“extension of tax”, when verified by the county clerk with proof of
computation attached;
7. Error commonly called duplicate assessment, but only in
instances where the two entries as delivered to the county treasurer
are verified by the county treasurer or deputy to be completely
identical in every specific detail; and

all indication of erasure or change in original entry.
