(a)  Whenever the full amount of any state tax or any portion or deficiency, as finally determined by the tax administrator, or any surcharge that is required to be remitted to the tax division pursuant to § 39-21.1-14 is not paid within thirty (30) days after the tax or penalty becomes due and payable, the tax administrator, in addition to any other powers provided by law, may petition the sixth division of the district court for a writ of execution, setting forth the nonpayment of the tax, surcharge or penalty; and the court shall immediately appoint a time for a hearing and cause a reasonable notice of the meeting to be given to the adverse party, and at the time and place of the return of the notice shall proceed summarily to hear the parties.

(b)  If upon the hearing it appears that the tax, penalty, or surcharge that is required to be remitted to the tax division pursuant to § 39-21.1-14 is unpaid, the court shall immediately issue an execution for the collection of the tax, penalty or surcharge, which shall run to the sheriffs, or their deputies, of the several counties of this state, and in which the officer making service of the execution shall be commanded to levy upon the property of the party as may be taken on execution, and the officer charged with the service of the execution shall serve the execution as commanded, and shall sell the property seized as property is sold when taken on execution in actions at law, or the court shall take other action as it may deem proper to enforce the payment of the tax by the appointment of the receiver of the property of the party or otherwise. A party aggrieved by a final order of the court may seek review of the order in the Supreme Court by writ of certiorari in accordance with the procedures contained in § 42-35-16.
