(2) The state treasurer shall, on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 in each year, make a statement of account between this state and each county and deliver the statement of account to the county treasurer of each county together with a warrant payable to the county treasurer for all money in the state treasury collected for the county, a local tax collecting unit, school district, or highway in that county, or any other purposes for that county, local tax collecting unit, school district, or highway. The state treasurer shall send notice of the warrant to the county clerk.   (3) At the time designated in subsection (2), the county treasurer shall pay to this state all money collected and due from that county to this state, as shown by the statement of account prepared by the state treasurer. On January 15, and on the fifteenth day of each month thereafter, the county treasurer shall pay to this state all money coming into his or her hands from the collection of the state tax, and shall transmit a sworn statement of the amount of taxes received from the collector in each assessing district in that county. The collector in each assessing district in the county shall pay to the county treasurer of its respective county all money collected not later than January 10, and not later than the tenth day of each month thereafter until the regular quarterly settlement for the quarter ending March 31 is made each year. The county treasurer or collector of each assessing district in the county shall also pay to the state treasurer for the use of this state 1/2 of 1% for each month or fraction of a month as interest on all money in his or her possession belonging to this state and not remitted on the fifteenth of the month. The state treasurer shall include all sums due as interest in his or her quarterly statement to the county treasurer. The sum due as interest shall be paid by the county the same as the taxes are paid and collected by the county from the treasurer or the sureties on his or her bond.  (4) The county treasurer of each county shall, on or before the fifteenth day of each month, make out a detailed statement of account for the preceding calendar month between the county and the local tax collecting units in that county. The statement shall show the different funds to which the several debits and credits belong. The county treasurer shall deliver the statement to the treasurer of the local tax collecting unit and pay the amount shown by the statement to the local tax collecting unit. The county treasurer shall notify the clerk of the local tax collecting unit of the total amount paid and provide a description of the property upon which the taxes were paid. The county clerk shall charge that amount to the county treasurer, and the clerks of the local tax collecting units shall charge that amount to the treasurers of the local tax collecting units on the books of their respective offices.  (5) Treasurers for the local tax collecting units are not required to make a settlement with the county treasurer for the items of state and county taxes included in the annual charge back list until the annual settlement with the county treasurer.  (6) The county board of commissioners by majority vote may authorize the county treasurer to pay directly to the school districts all money shown on the statement to be due to the school districts within the county. In that case the county superintendent is not required to compute and report delinquent school taxes handled by the county. History: 1893, Act 206, Eff. June 12, 1893 ;-- Am. 1895, Act 154, Eff.
