shall have authority to assess, collect, and enforce the sales tax,

and any penalties or interest thereon, levied by such county, and to

remit the same to the county. Such assessment, collection, and

enforcement authority shall apply to any sales tax, and any penalty

or interest liability existing at the time of contracting. Upon
