Except for taxes collected on behalf of the state for which standard receipt
forms had been supplied by the state prior to 1974, all county officials shall,
upon the receipt of any fine, forfeiture, tax, or fee, prepare a receipt that meets
the specifications of the state local finance officer, if the fine, forfeiture, tax, or
fee is paid:
(a) In cash;
(b) By a party appearing in person to pay; or
(c) By check, credit card, or debit card account received through the mail, if
the party includes an addressed, postage-paid return envelope and a
request for receipt.
One (1) copy of the receipt shall be given to the person paying the fine,
forfeiture, tax, or fee and one (1) copy shall be retained by the official for his
own records. One (1) copy of the receipt shall be retained by the official to be
placed with the daily bank deposit.
A county government may, but shall not be required to, accept payment of any
fine, forfeiture, tax, or fee by check, draft, electronic funds transfer, debit or
credit card account, or other similar means of payment. If an individual chooses
to pay a fine, forfeiture, tax, or fee by any means other than cash, the county
government may recover any transaction fee that would otherwise be incurred
by the county for submitting or processing the transaction as part of and in
addition to the original amount of the fine, forfeiture, tax, or fee.
