(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, commencing with the 1995-96 fiscal year, the county assessor shall determine the property tax assessed value in the county attributable to assessable intercounty pipeline rights-of-way on the basis of a single, countywide parcel per taxpayer by combining the assessed values of each separate right-of-way interest, or segment thereof, of the taxpayer in the county. However, the assessor shall maintain a separate base year value as determined pursuant to Section 110.1 for each separate right-of-way interest, or segment thereof.

(b) Any assessment appeal that is authorized to be filed in Sections 401.10 to 401.12, inclusive, with respect to an intercounty pipeline right-of-way interest, or segment thereof, for which the assessor did not assign a value in the manner specified in subdivision (a) of Section 401.10, shall be filed by the taxpayer upon one or more specified intercounty pipeline right-of-way interests, or segments thereof, as described in subdivision (a), and in no event shall be filed with respect to a taxpayer’s entire, undivided intercounty pipeline right-of-way. The assessor shall maintain for five calendar years those records for each assessment year that identify each intercounty pipeline right-of-way interest, or segment thereof, located within his or her county, and shall provide the information in those records with respect to a given intercounty pipeline right-of-way interest, or segment thereof, to the taxpayer upon request.
