Each motor vehicle owner liable for this said ad valorem tax shall each year file with the tax collector a written application for the motor vehicle road and bridge privilege license. In addition to the information required by Section 27-19-59, this application shall also furnish information showing as to what school district, what road district, if any, what levee district, if any, and any information as to other special taxing districts which represent the situs of the subject motor vehicle. The proper road and bridge privilege tax receipt number shall be written on the said applications and they shall be filed in consecutive order in a suitable filing cabinet. This application form shall be prescribed by the tax commission in cooperation with the administrator of the road and bridge privilege tax law, and shall be supplied by the board of supervisors.

These applications shall be preserved by the tax collectors until the board of supervisors shall, by written order, authorize that they may be destroyed. Such authority shall not be issued by the said board of supervisors until a complete audit of the tax collector has been made and all records are found to be in order and all taxes are found to have been properly calculated, collected, and all funds arising therefrom have been properly accounted for and paid into the proper funds as certified to by the auditor of public accounts.
