Section 40-7-26 Department of Revenue may act in advisory capacity; effect of approval of valuation
by department; nonapproved assessment docket. The Department of Revenue or the agents or assistants
thereof may work in an advisory capacity with the several county tax assessors of the state

approved by the Department of Revenue, the state has no appeal from such approved assessment.
The taxpayer, however, may appeal from such assessment in the same manner and within the same
time as appeals are allowed from nonapproved assessments. The several county tax assessors
are required to keep a docket of all nonapproved assessments in such form and containing such
data as may be prescribed by the Department of Revenue. Such...
