If the tax collector has cause to believe and believes that the collection of ad valorem taxes on personal property due by any taxpayer will be jeopardized by delay, he may immediately file with the circuit clerk a notice of tax lien for ad valorem taxes on personal property and issue a jeopardy warrant under official seal directed to the sheriff or off-duty deputy sheriff employed by the county tax collector of any county of this state. The circuit clerk shall proceed as provided in Section 27-41-101 upon receiving a copy of the notice of tax lien from the tax collector. Any tax determined to be due under a jeopardy assessment shall be a debt due to the county, and, when thus enrolled upon the judgment roll of the county, shall be the equivalent of any enrolled judgment of a court of record, and shall constitute a lien on all property and rights to property of the judgment debtor. The sheriff, upon receipt of the jeopardy warrant, shall immediately proceed in accordance with Section 27-41-107.
