426A.14  Allowance — continuing effectiveness.
  The assessor shall retain a permanent file of current military service tax exemption claims filed in the assessor’s office. The assessor shall file a notice of transfer of property for which a claim is filed when notice is received from the office of the county recorder, from the person who sold or transferred the property, or from the personal representative of a deceased claimant.
  The county recorder shall give notice to the assessor of each transfer of title filed in the recorder’s office. The notice shall describe the property transferred, the name of the person transferring the title to the property, and the name of the person to whom title to the property has been transferred.
  Not later than July 6 of each year, the assessor shall remit the claims and designations of property to the county auditor with the assessor’s recommendation for allowance or disallowance. If the assessor recommends disallowance of a claim, the assessor shall submit the reasons for the recommendation, in writing, to the county auditor.
  The county auditor shall forward the claims to the board of supervisors. The board shall allow or disallow the claims. If the board disallows a claim, it shall send written notice, by mail, to the claimant at the claimant’s last known address. The notice shall state the reasons for disallowing the claim for the exemption. The board is not required to send notice that a claim is disallowed if the claimant voluntarily withdraws the claim.
  Any person whose claim is denied under the provisions of this chapter may appeal from the action of the board of supervisors in the district court of the county in which said claimed military service tax exemption is situated by giving written notice of such appeal to the county auditor of said county within twenty days from the date of mailing of notice of such action by the board of supervisors.
  Upon adoption of a resolution by the county board of supervisors, any person may request, in writing, from the appropriate assessor forms for the filing for a military service tax exemption. The person may complete the form, which shall include a statement claiming the military service tax exemption and designating the property upon which the tax exemption is claimed, and mail or return it to the appropriate assessor. The signature of the claimant on the claim shall be considered the claimant’s acknowledgment that all statements and facts entered on the form are correct to the best of the claimant’s knowledge.
