§ 31-21-406 — Suit by bondholder - city or town to protect

In the event that
any action, suit, or proceeding is brought by any bondholder, creditor, or other
person, wherein it is sought to compel the levy of any further bond tax on property
which has been discharged from said tax by payment in full, the city or town shall
take all necessary steps to protect said property on which the tax has been paid in
full by purchasing property sold for the nonpayment of such tax in the event that
there are no other purchasers and by making ample provisions for the payment of
delinquent bond taxes or the installments thereof out of the general fund or any
other available fund, the intention being that, as between the city or town and the
taxpayer, any particular property may be fully discharged and relieved from the lien
of such tax or the levy of any further tax for the same purpose by payment in full of
its proportionate share thereof at the time of payment.
