Any county, town, city or village officer who shall fail to make the report or reports required by this subchapter shall be subject to a penalty of not less than $25 nor more than $150, to be recovered in a proper action in the name of the state of Wisconsin in any court of competent jurisdiction; and any expense necessarily incurred by the department in procuring the information not reported as required by law by any such officer shall be a special charge against the county, town, city or village whose officer shall have so failed to furnish the required information and shall be collected in the same manner as other special charges. 76.11 HistoryHistory: 1979 c. 102 s. 236 (1); 1985 a. 29. 76.12576.125 Net tax rate for commercial and manufacturing property. 76.125(1)(1) Using the statement of assessments under s. 70.53 and the statement of taxes under s. 69.61, the department shall determine the net rate of taxation of commercial property under s. 70.32 (2) (a) 2. and of manufacturing property under s. 70.32 (2) (a) 3. as provided in subs.
