Section 45-21-241.26 - Charge for Collection; Disposition of Funds.

The State Department of Revenue shall charge Crenshaw County for collecting the special county tax levied under this subpart. The amount of percentage of total collections may be agreed upon by the Commissioner of Revenue and the Crenshaw County Commission, but the charge shall not exceed 10 percent of the total amount of the special county tax collected in Crenshaw County under this subpart. The charge for collecting the special tax may be deducted each month from the gross revenues from the special tax before certification of the amount of the proceeds thereof due Crenshaw County for that month. The Commissioner of Revenue shall pay into the State Treasury all tax collected under this subpart as the tax is received by the Department of Revenue. On or before the first day of each successive month, commencing with the month following the month in which the department makes the first collection hereunder, the commissioner shall certify to the Comptroller that amount of the tax collected under this subpart and paid into the State Treasury for the benefit of Crenshaw County. During each month, the commissioner may deduct from the tax collected in that month, the charge due the department for the collection of the tax for the county. It shall be duty of the Comptroller to issue a warrant each month payable to the County Treasurer of Crenshaw County in his or her official capacity in an amount equal to the amount so certified by the Commissioner of Revenue as having been collected for the use of the county. The Comptroller shall then deliver to the Crenshaw County Commission the balance remaining. All revenues arising from the taxes herein levied shall be distributed by the Crenshaw County Commission as follows:
(1) Twenty percent of the total net proceeds shall be distributed to the municipalities from which proceeds originated.
(2) Ten percent of the total proceeds shall be distributed to the volunteer and municipal fire departments and rescue squads in the county. The proceeds shall be distributed in equal shares to each fire department and rescue squad.
(3) Thirty percent of the total net proceeds shall be deposited for revenue reserve fund in the county general fund. On September 30, of each year, 60 percent of the monies in the reserve fund shall be appropriated to the industrial development authority in the county and 40 percent shall be deposited in a general fund for the county for industrial development uses.
(4) The remainder of the total net proceeds shall be deposited in the county general fund.
