1. The county assessor and his or her sureties shall be, and they hereby are, made liable for the taxes on all taxable property, within the county required to be assessed by the county assessor, which is not assessed through the county assessor’s willful or inexcusable neglect. Proof of the nonassessment of any taxable property within the county shall be deemed prima facie evidence of such neglect.
2. The county auditor and the county treasurer shall inform the district attorney of the county of the nature and value of all property not assessed, naming the owner or owners thereof whenever they or either of them shall know or have good reason to believe any property within the county has not been assessed according to law.
