A municipal corporation shall, once every year, between the first of May and thirtieth of June, and not oftener, lay an equal and uniform tax upon all real and personal property within its corporate limits, as prescribed by and under the limitations imposed by law for the current year. This tax shall be due and payable at the proper office of the municipal government immediately after the levy, or as soon thereafter as the tax bills can be prepared.
