ANNOTATION
Annotator's note. The following annotations include cases decided under this section as it existed prior to its 1964 repeal and reenactment.
County assessor is under duty to assess all taxable property for taxation, regardless of whether a reappraisal thereof has been completed; although he is not required to await completion of reappraisal before making up his tax roll, he is under obligation nevertheless, in the interest of uniformity, to determine his valuations in conformity with reappraisal standards insofar as this might reasonably be accomplished under the circumstances. Citizens' Comm. for Fair Prop. Taxation v. Warner, 127 Colo. 121, 254 P.2d 1005 (1953).
After report is made, assessor's quasi-judicial functions end. When the county assessor has completed his assessment and submits his assessment roll to the county board of equalization, his quasi-judicial functions and his duties, thereafter to be performed, are purely ministerial. People ex rel. State Bd. of Equaliz. v. Pitcher, 61 Colo. 149, 156 P. 812 (1916).
