2. The owner of property which is placed upon the tax roll and has been admitted to the program by the Department of Transportation is entitled to an allowance equal to the taxes accrued against such property.
3. A claim for an allowance under the program may be filed with the assessor of the county in which the claimant’s property is located between January 15 and April 30, inclusive. The claim must be made under oath or affirmation and filed in such form and content and accompanied by such proof as the Department may prescribe. The county assessor shall furnish the appropriate form to each claimant.
4. The county assessor shall, within 10 days after receiving a claim, determine the assessed valuation of the property to which the claim applies and submit the claim to the Department. The Department shall examine the claim and may obtain from the Department of Transportation any information necessary to verify whether the line of railroad which is the subject of the claim has been admitted to the program, and if so, the date of admission and the identification of the owner of the line.
5. The Department shall grant or deny each claim and shall notify both the claimant and the county assessor of its decision not later than June 30.
6. If the claim is granted, the county assessor immediately shall notify the auditor and ex officio tax receiver of the county, who shall make such adjustments with respect to the tax roll and the claimant’s tax bill as are necessary to carry into effect the allowance granted to the claimant.
