Every person, firm, or corporation who owns, maintains, or keeps a mobile home which is considered for ad valorem tax purposes as separate from the realty on which it sits shall receive a colored decal upon the payment of both his or her mobile home registration fee and ad valorem taxes on the mobile home.

Such fee shall be paid to the judge of probate in Chambers County and shall be due, payable, and delinquent at the same times that motor vehicle licenses are due, payable, and delinquent. After payment of administrative expenses, including designer's fees, the judge shall distribute the proceeds of such registration fees at the same time and in the same proportions and under the same pains and penalties as the proceeds of motor vehicle license fees are distributed and the judge shall be entitled to the same commissions or allowances for so collecting and disbursing these registration fees as he or she receives for handling funds derived from issuing motor vehicle license tags in such counties. (b) The owner of any mobile home who fails to pay the registration fee herein provided for or who fails to place the decal on the front of the mobile home as required in subsection (a), shall be guilty of a Class C misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500). In addition to all applicable criminal sanctions, a penalty of thirty dollars ($30) shall be assessed against any person, firm, or corporation who fails to pay their registration fee at the proper time.

(c) The judge of probate in the county and the State Department of Revenue are hereby empowered to promulgate and carry out all rules and regulations necessary to implement the provision of this section.
