§ 30-407. Tax collections.

(a)

The provisions of § 298.38, F.S., and amendments and successors thereof, shall not be applicable to said district. In lieu thereof, the following provision shall apply to such district.

(b)

The Tax Collector of Broward County, Florida, shall receive the "drainage tax book" of said district each year and he shall promptly and faithfully collect the tax therein set out and exercise all due diligence in so doing. He is further directed and ordered to demand and collect such taxes at the same time that he demands and collects county taxes due on the same lands. Where any tract or part thereof has been divided and sold or transferred, the collector shall receive taxes on any part of any tract, piece or parcel of land, charged with such taxes, and give his receipt accordingly. Said "drainage tax book" shall be the warrant and authority of the collector for making such demand and collection. The said collector shall pay over and account for all monies collected thereon, each year, to the treasurer of said district, at the same time when he pays over county taxes. The said collector shall likewise collect the delinquent taxes of said district and demand payment therefor and pay over the proceeds thereof to the treasurer of said district, in the manner as provided for the collection of delinquent county taxes. The collector shall retain for his services one per cent of the amount he collects on current taxes and two (2) per cent of the amount he collects on delinquent taxes.
