All claims for damages against the county shall be filed with the Auditor. Claims shall accurately state the time, place, cause, nature and extent of the alleged damages and give the actual residence address of the claimant at the time of presenting the claim, and for six months prior to the time for damages accrued, and shall be verified by affidavit of the claimant or such other person as may be authorized by law to verify such claim.

Compliance with the provisions of this section is mandatory upon all claimants for damages. Neither the Commissioners nor any officer, board, department or authority shall allow, make valid or in any manner recognize any demand against the county which was not at the time of its creation a valid claim against the county, nor shall they or any of them ever allow or authorize to be paid any demand which without such action would be invalid, or which shall then be barred by any statutes of limitation, or for which the county was never liable, and any such action be void.

Every officer who shall approve, allow or pay any demand against the county not authorized by law shall be personally liable to the county. (Proposed by the Charter Review Commission and approved by the voters November 8, 1983.)
