A. When the tax collector discovers that any property has been assessed more than once for the same year, he must collect only the tax justly due and make his return of the facts by his certificate to the council, and the council shall thereupon enter an order upon its minutes directing the tax collector to cancel such double assessment by an entry on the assessment book or roll and also upon the delinquent roll should such double assessment be carried thereon.

B. If the property assessed under such double assessment has been sold to the city and a deed therefor has been issued to the city, the order of the council shall further direct the county recorder to cancel the record of such deed so issued before the city has disposed of the property thereby conveyed, provided, no cancellation of double assessment or deed shall be made in any case, until the taxes, penalties, costs and other charges against the property, or one of such assessment shall have been paid.

C. In case the tax collector issued an erroneous deed to any property upon which the taxes have been fully paid for the year therein mentioned, such facts shall be certified to the council by the tax collector and thereupon said council shall make and enter in its minutes an order authorizing the county recorder to cancel such erroneous deed.
