Any taxpayer may, prior to December 1 in each year, inspect the commissioner's classifications and valuations and confer informally with the commissioner as to the correctness of such classifications and valuations so that any errors may be corrected prior to the commissioner's assessment of Class II property.
Following any such informal conference with the taxpayer and not later than December 15 in each year the commissioner shall deliver to the taxpayer a detailed statement of the taxpayer's Class II property together with the assessment of such property for the following tax year at the rate hereinabove established.
