ID Code § 43-707A (2013) What's This?
43-707A. Acceptance of bank drafts or checks. (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of title 43, Idaho Code, irrigation district treasurers may accept personal or other nonguaranteed forms of bank drafts or checks if (1) the remitter identifies by legal description the parcel for which the payment is tendered, (2) the amount for which the draft or check is presented is the exact amount of the assessment due, including, where a delinquency exists and a tax deed has not been issued, penalties, interest and county redemption fees. The following procedures shall be followed in processing payments by bank drafts or checks:
(a) The assessment number of the identified parcel shall be entered on the draft or check.
(b) The treasurer shall prepare the current tax receipt or redemption certificate or both, and deliver them to the remitter. Such receipts shall be invalid, and shall so state, if payment of the draft or check is refused by the bank or other entity on which it is drawn. Any drafts or checks upon which payment has been refused will be noted in the records of the treasurer and notice of nonpayment shall be delivered to the county recorder. The notation and notice of nonpayment shall be sufficient reversal of any entries made upon the books of the district treasurer and upon the lien records of the county recorder.
(c) Notice shall be sent to the remitter that payment has not been received, that receipts and releases are therefore invalid and withdrawn and that the draft or check can be redeemed by payment with United States currency or a guaranteed bank draft or money order in the amount of the original draft or check plus the additional interest accrued, plus a repetition of the county filing fees and plus a handling charge not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00).
(2) Full compliance with procedures enumerated in this section shall exempt the treasurer from any personal liability for the acceptance of bank drafts or checks.
