§ 5221. Commencement of action; disqualifications
When the treasurer, collector of taxes, or other proper officer has a delinquent tax
in his or her hands for collection, he or she may notify the agent or other proper
officer whose duty it is to prosecute and defend suits wherein such municipality is
interested of the amount of such tax and of all fees accrued thereon, who, in his
or her discretion, may institute suit therefor under the provisions of sections 5222-5226 and 5291 of this title, and a tax collector may institute suits as tax collector in his or her own name
and join in one action to recover all taxes in his or her hands for collection against
one taxpayer. A constable or sheriff shall not be disqualified to serve and return
mesne, final, or other process in such suit, by reason of being a taxpayer in such
municipality, by reason of being collector of taxes therein, or by reason of any act
done or fees in his or her behalf accrued on account of such unpaid taxes.
