KRS 267.310: Payment and collection of assessments when average below twenty -five

cents ($0.25) per acre.

If the total assessment against the land is less than an average of twenty-five cents ($0.25)

per acre, the assessments shall be collected in one (1) installm ent. In that case, after the

assessment roll has been made out and one (1) copy delivered to the county treasurer, as

provided in KRS 267.300, notice thereof shall be given by publication pursuant to KRS

Chapter 424, and by posting one (1) notice at the courthouse door in each county in which

land assessed is located. At any time within thirty (30) days thereafter, any landowner

may pay the assessment against his land to the treasurer, who shall enter proper credit on

the assessment roll. After said thirty (30) days the board shall recover the assessment roll

from the treasurer and deliver it to the sheriff, accompanied by an order to collect the

unpaid assessments. The sheriff shall proceed to collect the assessments. If land in any

other county is assessed , a copy of the assessment roll, insofar as it relates to that land,

shall be certified to the sheriff of that county. The roll, when placed in the hands of the

sheriff, shall have the same effect as a tax against the land assessed, and shall be collected

in the same manner as state and county taxes, except that the sheriff shall add to each

assessment shown the amount of his commission. If not paid by December 1 following

the date of certification or order to collect, a penalty of six percent (6%) shall be added.
