(a) If any person required to list property for taxation shall have been prevented by sickness or absence from giving to the county assessor the list of property as prescribed by this subchapter, the person, or his or her agent having charge of the property, may, at any time before the making out of the tax books by the county clerk, make out and deliver to the county assessor of the county a statement of the same as required by this subchapter. The county assessor shall in such case make an entry in the returns of the proper city, town, ward, or school district and correct the items in the return made by him or her, as the case may require.

(b) No such statement shall be received by the county assessor from any person who shall have refused or neglected to make oath to his or her statement when required by the county assessor under the provisions of this subchapter, nor from any person unless he or she shall have first made and filed with the county clerk an affidavit that the person required to list the same was absent from his or her county without design to avoid listing his or her property or was prevented by sickness from giving to the county assessor the required statement when called upon for that purpose.
