Section § 1256
This law says that when the county assessor needs maps or block-books to do their job properly, the board of supervisors must allow and instruct the assessor to make or oversee their creation. The costs for these items will be paid from the county's general fund, just like other county expenses. This rule adds to any other legal processes that might apply in this situation.
