(1) If any property, real or personal, which is exempted from taxation on the first day of January shall thereafter have a changed status during the year, either by change in ownership or otherwise, in a manner that if the changed status had existed on the first day of January the property would have been taxable at that time, then the property shall be assessed in the following manner: If the status changed before the first day of April, then for its full market value for assessment purposes; if on the first day of April and before the first day of July, then for three-fourths (3/4) of its full market value for assessment purposes; if on the first day of July and before the first day of October, then for one-half (1/2) of its full market value for assessment purposes; and if the status changed on or after the first day of October, then for one-fourth (1/4) of its full market value for assessment purposes. However, if the changed status results from the leasing or rental of property normally constituting business inventory, the same shall be subject to property tax only for the period it is so leased or rented and upon its return to business inventory shall again be exempt. Each owner of such property shall, on the first Monday of November of each year, file with the assessor for the home county of the owner with a copy for every other county involved, a statement listing and sufficiently identifying such property, the counties where it was situated and the periods of the preceding twelve (12) calendar months during which the property was leased or rented within each county.
(2)  At the time of filing such statement with the assessor of his home county, the owner of such leased or rented property shall provide such assessor with a copy for every other county involved.
