§ 68-2108. Nonpayment of tax.

(a) In any case where the owner of a vehicle subject to the tax levied by this article fails or refuses to pay the same, after proper demand therefor by an officer or agent of the Tax Commission, such officer or agent shall immediately report such failure to the Tax Commission, and shall at the same time in case of failure to pay, seize and hold the said vehicle, as now provided by law in case of failure to pay the annual vehicle license or registration fee.

(b) The Tax Commission shall, upon demand of the owner of the vehicle, accord a hearing to said owner as provided by law and enter its findings and order accordingly.  If it is determined by the Tax Commission that said tax is due and payable, then it shall issue its warrant, directly to the sheriff of the county, ordering and directing the sale of such vehicle according to the same procedure now provided by law for the sale of vehicles for failure to pay the annual license fee.  Such seizure and sale may at the time include both the registration fee due and the excise tax levied by this article, together with all costs of advertisement and sale.  The sale shall be conducted in all manner as provided by law for the sale of personal property under execution.
