The sheriff shall provide monthly reports by the tenth day of each month to the
chief executive of the county, the department, and any other district for which
the sheriff collects taxes. The governing body of the county may require the
sheriff to report and pay on a more frequent basis if necessary for bonding
requirements; however, the sheriff shall not be required to report and pay more
frequently than weekly.
The report shall be broken down by governmental entity and shall include the
following information for the preceding month or reporting period, if the
reporting period is other than monthly:
(a) The total amount of taxes collected;
(b) The total amount of any fines, forfeitures, or other moneys collected; and
(c) The disposition of such revenue or money collected.
At the time of making the report, the sheriff shall pay to the county treasurer or
other officer designated by the governing body of a county, to the department,
and to any other district for which the sheriff collects taxes, all funds belonging
to the county, the state, or the district that were collected during the period
covered by the report.
Any sheriff failing to pay over taxes collected as required by law shall be
subject to a penalty of one percent (1%) for each thirty (30) day period or
fraction thereof that the payment is not made, plus interest at the tax interest
rate provided in KRS 131.183 on such amounts. The governing body of a
county, the department, or the other district for which the sheriff collects taxes,
in its settlement with the sheriff, shall charge him or her with such penalties and
interest.
The chief executive of a county, or the commissioner of the department may
grant an extension of time, not to exceed fifteen (15) days, for filing the report
required by subsection (1) of this section with that entity when good cause
exists. The extension shall be in writing and shall be recorded in the office of
the county clerk. The extension when granted shall suspend the penalty and
interest for the duration of the extension. The penalty and interest shall apply at
the expiration of the extension.
