A. Any person shall be allowed to point out the particular movable property which
he may desire to have sold for taxes due by him, delivering the property to the tax collector
at his office on or before the day of sale, provided that the property be sufficient in the
opinion of the tax collector to realize the amount of the taxes due.
B. When seizure is made of movable property in any of the forms provided to
enforce the payment of taxes, the debtor may secure release of the same until the day of sale
upon his forthcoming bond, with solvent security in solido, which shall be executed in the
same manner as forthcoming bonds for property seized under writs of fieri facias. Anyone
so releasing his property shall return the same into the possession of the tax collector for sale
on or before the day of sale; unless so returned, the forthcoming bond shall be considered
forfeited and shall be filed in the office of the clerk of the civil district court of the parish and
shall have the force and effect of a twelve months' bond to be executed by a writ of fieri
facias issued thereon by the clerk against the principal and sureties in solido, as provided by
law for the enforcement of twelve months' bonds. The forfeiture of the bond shall be made
to appear by certificate of the tax collector written thereon.
