<br /> 			procedure to enforce any remedy provided by law for the collection of taxes or the
<br /> 			enforcement of any tax liens (whether the taxes or tax liens are evidenced by the original

<br /> 			equalization and review or the Property Tax Commission, the tax collector may not seek
<br /> 			collection of taxes or enforcement of a tax lien resulting from the assessment until the
<br /> 			appeal has been finally adjudicated. The tax collector, however, may send an initial bill
<br /> 			or notice to the taxpayer.  (1933, c. 181, s. 7; c. 399; 1945, c. 832; 1947, c. 1065, s. 1;
