Bill > SB730

This bill amends the existing West Virginia code to change the compensation structure for county tax collectors (referred to as "sheriffs" in the text). The key provisions are: 1) After the tax collector has collected 85% of the total real and personal property taxes assessed, they will be allowed an annual commission of $15,000, which will be charged against the various funds for which the taxes are collected and become part of the tax collector's budgeted and annual compensation. 2) This commission will be paid in accordance with the provisions of §7-7-9 of the West Virginia code, which likely outlines the process for distributing this compensation. The bill is aimed at clarifying and adjusting the compensation structure for county tax collectors in West Virginia.
