The municipal assessment of railroad property, and other property required by law to be assessed by the state railroad assessors, shall be made by the assessor by copying from the assessment roll of such property, filed with the clerk of the board of supervisors, the assessment of all the property situated inside the municipality. Where any municipality has added territory, the assessor shall likewise copy, from the roll filed with the clerk of the board of supervisors, the assessment of all the property situated within such added territory constituting, with a municipality, a separate school district. The assessment so copied shall be the legal assessment for the municipality, and the municipal separate school district, and, when certified by the clerk and placed in the hands of the municipal tax collector, shall be his warrant for the collection of municipal and separate school district ad valorem taxes.
The governing authorities of any municipality may present to the state assessors of railroads orally or in writing at any time before the assessment is made, information with respect to the property owned by any public utility, its value and the assessment of same.
