§ 45-41-244.66. Fee for Collection.

For making the collection of taxes authorized to be levied in Sections 45-41-244.62 and 45-41-244.63, the aforesaid tax collector of the county shall be entitled to a fee in an amount equal to five percent of the first one hundred dollars ($100) of revenue collected and two percent of all revenue collected over one hundred dollars ($100) from such taxes each calendar month; such fee shall be for the use of the tax collector. The fee allowed herein shall be deducted from the tax collections each calendar month and the remainder of such collections shall be remitted to the county; provided, however, such fee shall be disallowed unless such collections are remitted to the county within the time allowed by law. If the tax collector is paid on a salary instead of a fee basis, all fees allowed under the terms of this section to be paid to the tax collector shall be paid, by the tax collector, into the county treasury, or to the official performing the duties of county treasurer.
