The county assessor shall from time to time by personal inspection and examination, by himself or deputies, gather and record, in writing, any and all available data and information bearing upon the location, number, amount, kind and value of any and all property and persons which he is required by law to assess; and he shall keep a list of all persons subject to assessment in his county and shall note thereon all removals from the county or from one precinct to another within the county, and shall add thereto the names of all persons subject to assessment moving into his county. The information required to be collected and preserved shall be filed and systematically indexed and remain a permanent part of the record of the assessor’s office in such manner that the same may be available for the use of the board of supervisors and other officials of the county and state performing duties with reference to the assessment of property and the collection of taxes. Such records may be generated, filed, stored, retained, copied or reproduced by microfilm, microfiche, data processing, computers, magnetic tape, optical discs or any other electronic process which correctly and legibly stores and reproduces or which forms a medium for storing, copying or reproducing documents, files and records in addition to, or in lieu of the paper documents, files and records.
