The assessor shall have power:

A. To require any person found within the city to make and subscribe an affidavit giving his name, place of residence or place of business, and whether he is the owner of any taxable property;

B. To subpoena and examine any person in relation to any statement furnished by him or which discloses property which is assessable in the city that may be stored with, in possession of or controlled by such person. Every person who refuses to furnish the statement required in Sections 3.28.005 through 3.28.645, or to make and subscribe such affidavit respecting his name and place of residence, or place of business, or to appear and testify when requested to do so by the assessor, as provided in Sections 3.28.005 through 3.28.645, shall, for each and every refusal and as often as the same is repeated, forfeit to the city the sum of one hundred dollars in legal tender of the United States, to be recovered by action brought in its name by the assessor, in any court of competent jurisdiction. All moneys recovered by any assessor under the provisions of this section must be paid by him into the treasury of said city. (Prior code § 6.04.130)
