A. On or before the first Monday in August in each year, the assessor must complete his assessment book or roll. He or his deputies must take and subscribe an affidavit in the assessment book or roll to be substantially as follows:

I, ____________________, Assessor (or Deputy Assessor, as the case may be) of the City of Bakersfield, do swear that between the first Monday in March and the first Monday in August, nineteen hundred and ______________, I have made diligent inquiry and examination to ascertain all the property within the City of Bakersfield (or within the subdivision thereof assessed by me, as the case may be) subject to assessment by me, and that the same has been assessed on the assessment book or roll equally and uniformly, according to the best of my judgment, information and belief, at its full cash value and that I have faithfully complied with all the duties imposed on the Assessor under the revenue laws; and that I have not imposed any unjust or double assessment through malice or ill will or otherwise, nor allowed any one to escape a just and equal assessment through favor or reward or otherwise.

B. But the failure to take or subscribe such affidavit, or any affidavit, will not in any manner affect the validity of the assessment. (Prior code § 6.04.260)
