164.051. 1. Whenever any school district lapses or is dissolved, which at the time of lapse or dissolution has any bonds or other obligations outstanding and unpaid, the county commission, county council or county legislature of the county, or if the district embraced territory in two or more counties then the county commission, county council or county legislature of the county in which the greater portion of the assessed valuation of the district lies, on or before the first day of May of each year, shall ascertain and certify to the county clerk or clerks, as the case may be, the rate of taxation necessary to be levied upon the taxable property within the former corporate limits or boundary lines of the district, sufficient to pay the interest on and the principal of bonds falling due during the succeeding year.
2. The county clerk of the county or counties, upon receipt of the certificate and at the time it is required by law to determine and levy the rate of taxation for county, school, road and other taxes, shall make an order levying the rate of taxation so certified by the county commission, county council or county legislature upon the taxable property within the former corporate limits or boundary lines of the district, and the tax shall be extended in the tax book and collected in the same manner as other school taxes. When collected, the revenue shall be paid to the county treasurer of the county which had the largest number of acres of land in the district, or in which the greater portion of the assessed valuation of the district lies, and he shall deposit the moneys received by him in the bank, trust company or other place where the principal and interest of the bonds of the district are payable.
