If, for any cause, there has been a failure to levy the state, county, school or other taxes, or any portion thereof, or to extend and authenticate the taxes for the use of the collector, or to deliver to the collector a proper tax book for the collection of the taxes, as required by law, in any county for any year or years, the clerk of the county commission of the county for the time being, when so required for the state taxes by the state tax commission, and for the county, school or other taxes by the county commission, shall make a supplemental tax book for the year or years. The supplemental tax book shall be made upon the assessments for the year or years for which the taxes should have been levied, or if there has been a failure to assess the property, upon the assessment made as required by section 137.175. The taxes for each year shall be in a separate book and shall be levied for the state, county, school and other taxes, or portions of the taxes that were not levied and collected at the proper time. In making the supplemental tax book, and in all subsequent proceedings thereon, the county commission, clerk of the county commission and the collector shall be governed by the law in force for the same duties, and shall receive the compensation that is provided by law for similar duties. If the taxes or any portion of them have been paid upon defective or illegal tax books, the amounts so paid shall not be charged in the supplemental tax books, and if the taxes have been paid in full upon any property, the taxes, with the description of the property and the name of the owner thereof, shall be omitted from the supplemental tax book.
