Where any county or municipality other than metropolitan governments has prepared or has had prepared property maps, that identify parcels of land within the area of that local government, that assign a number or other identifying symbol to such parcels and that show names of streets and public ways, and where such maps have been made a matter of public record and have been filed in the office of the county registrar, the parcel number or other identifying symbol that a specific parcel has been assigned on the official property identification map or maps shall be a sufficient description and identification of such property for purposes of assessment. Property maps prepared for property tax and assessment purposes shall not be conclusive evidence of property ownership in any court of law.
The state division of property assessment shall supervise the preparation, maintenance, revision and recording of all such property maps. It shall be the duty of the assessor to annually file a copy or reproduction of such property maps, as currently revised, with the county register of deeds, except in counties with a metropolitan form of government, who shall, without charge, accept, file, and preserve such copy or reproduction as a public record. Such copy or reproduction shall be filed on or before April 15 of each year, and shall reflect the status of property as of January 1. The copy or reproduction must use a format and storage medium approved by the director of the division of property assessments.
The state division of property assessment shall revise such property maps to indicate the proper boundary between adjoining counties upon receipt of a notice from the state board of equalization as provided in former § 5-2-115(d)(3) [repealed].
