(1) Grounds. After the tax roll has been delivered to the treasurer of the taxation district under s. 74.03, the governing body of the taxation district may refund or rescind in whole or in part any general property tax shown in the tax roll, including agreed-upon interest, if:

(a) A clerical error has been made in the description of the property or in the computation of the tax.

(b) The assessment included real property improvements which did not exist on the date under s. 70.10 for making the assessment.

(c) The property is exempt by law from taxation, except as provided under sub. (2).

(e) A double assessment has been made.

(f) An arithmetic, transpositional or similar error has occurred.

(2) Exceptions. The governing body of a taxation district may not refund or rescind any tax under this section if the alleged error may be appealed under s. 70.995(8)(c) or if the alleged error is solely that the assessor placed a valuation on the property that is excessive.

(3) Charging back and sharing taxes. If an error under sub. (1) has been discovered, the governing body of the taxation district shall proceed under s. 74.41.
