§ 5713.15.
If the owner or occupier of a subdivided survey, section, tract, lot, or part thereof
fails to appear when required, and to produce the title papers, or produces them in
such manner that the county auditor cannot plat and number said subdivisions without
a survey, the auditor may require such owner or occupier to cause such subdivisions
to be surveyed, platted, and numbered within twenty days, and to deliver said survey
and plat to the county recorder for record. If such survey and plat is not made and delivered to the recorder within the time
required, or the owner or occupier has not appeared when required, the auditor may
cause the subdivision of such survey, section, tract, lot, or part thereof, to be
surveyed, platted, and numbered by the county engineer and recorded by the recorder. The expense of the survey and record made by the order of the auditor shall be reported
to him by the engineer and recorder, and the auditor shall add the expense to the
tax on such subdivisions in proportion to the quantity of land in each. The expenses shall be collected as are other taxes against the land, and when collected
paid over to the parties entitled thereto on the warrant of the auditor.
