Each owner shall make report of the unit or units of property owned by him or her to the tax assessor at the time fixed by law for making return of other property of such owner; and any owner whose property is generally exempt from property taxation or who is not otherwise required to make report or return to the tax assessor as aforesaid shall nevertheless at such time make report to the tax assessor of the unit or units of property owned by him or her, all as if such unit or units of property were subject to property taxation.

In case of default in the payment of such financial charge, such unit or units of property may be sold in the same manner and under the same conditions that lands are sold for the satisfaction of liens for county taxes, but nothing herein shall be construed to authorize the sale of any county, municipal, or other property otherwise exempt, under the general laws of the state, from levy and sale under any process or judgment. Such lien shall be subject and subordinate only to any lien or liens on property imposed by law in connection with state or local ad valorem taxes. All provisions of state law with respect to payment and collection of county ad valorem taxes, making returns with respect thereto, penalties for failure to pay such taxes or otherwise to comply with state law respecting county ad valorem taxes, to the extent consistent with this part, shall apply to the financial charges authorized to be levied and collected hereunder.

Section 45-8A-22.124 Eligible Rollover Distribution; Direct Rollover
Status: in_force

(a) Rollovers Generally.

(1) Notwithstanding any provision of the plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this section, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the retirement board, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.

(2) Definitions.

a. Eligible Rollover Distribution. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does not include:

1. Any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, not less frequently than annually, made for the life, or life expectancy, of the distributee or the joint lives, or joint life expectancies, of the distributee and the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of 10 years or more;

2. Any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9);

3. Any hardship distribution; or

4. The portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income, determined without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities.

A portion of a distribution shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income. However, such portion of after-tax employee contributions may be transferred only to:

(i) An individual retirement account described in Internal Revenue Code Section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Internal Revenue Code Section 408(b); or

(ii) A qualified trust described in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) or an annuity contract described in Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b), if such trust or contract provides for separate accounting for amounts so transferred, including interest thereon, including separately accounting for the portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such distribution which is not so includible.

b. Eligible Retirement Plan. An eligible retirement plan includes any of the following:

1. An eligible plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 457(b) which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from the plan.

2. An individual retirement account described in Internal Revenue Code Section 408(a) or an individual retirement annuity described in Internal Revenue Code Section 408(b).

3. An annuity plan described in Internal Revenue Code Section 403(a) or an annuity contract described in Internal Revenue Code Section 403(b).

4. A qualified trust described in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a) that accepts the distributee’s “eligible rollover distribution.”

c. Distributee. A distributee includes an employee or former employee. In addition, the employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the employee’s or former employee’s spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 414(p), are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

d. Direct Rollover. A direct rollover is a payment by the plan to the “eligible retirement plan” specified by the distributee.

(b) Direct Rollovers by Non-Spouse Beneficiaries.

(1) Non-Spouse Beneficiary Rollover Right. Notwithstanding the direct rollover provisions in subsection (a), for distributions in plan years starting after December 31, 2009, in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 402(c)(11), a non-spouse beneficiary who is a designated beneficiary, as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9)(E) and the regulations thereunder, may, by means of a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer, roll over all or any portion of an eligible rollover distribution to an individual retirement plan the designated beneficiary establishes for purposes of receiving the distribution. Such individual retirement plan shall be treated as an inherited individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity, within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 408(d)(3)(C). If a non-spouse beneficiary receives a distribution from the plan, the distribution is not eligible for a 60-day, non-direct rollover.

(2) Trust Beneficiary. If the participant’s named beneficiary is a trust, the plan may make a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer to an individual retirement plan on behalf of the trust, provided the trust satisfies the requirements to be a designated beneficiary within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a)(9)(E).
