 (from Ch. 24, par. 11-10-1)Sec. 11-10-1. In each municipality or fire protection district, whether  incorporated under a general or special law, which has a fire department  established and maintained by municipal or fire protection district  ordinances, every corporation, company, and association which is not  incorporated under the laws of this state and which is engaged in effecting  fire insurance in the municipality or fire protection district, shall pay  to the foreign fire insurance board or to the secretary of the fire  protection district for the maintenance, use, and benefit of the fire  department thereof, a sum not exceeding 2% of the gross receipts received  from fire insurance upon property situated within the municipality or  district.Each municipality and fire protection district may prescribe by  ordinance the rate of the tax or license fee to be paid, but this rate  shall not exceed the rate specified in this section. Each designated  corporation, company, and association shall pay at the rate so prescribed,  upon the amount of all premiums which have been received during the year  ending on every first day of July for all fire insurance effected or agreed  to be effected on property situated within the municipality or fire  protection district, by that corporation, company, or association  respectively.Every person who acts in any specified municipality or fire protection  district as agent, or otherwise, on behalf of a designated corporation,  company, or association, shall render to the treasurer of the foreign fire insurance board or secretary of the fire  protection district, on or before the fifteenth day of July of each year, a  full and true account, verified by his oath, of all of the premiums which,  during the year ending on the first day of July preceding the report, were  received by him, or by any other person for him on behalf of that  corporation, company, or association. He shall specify in this report the  amounts received for fire insurance, and he shall pay to the treasurer of  the foreign fire insurance board, or to the secretary of the fire protection district, at  the time of rendering this report, the amount as determined by the rate  fixed by the ordinance of the municipality or fire protection district for  which his corporation, company, or association is accountable under this  section and the ordinance.If this account is not rendered on or before the fifteenth day of July  of each year, or if the sum due remains unpaid after that day, it shall be  unlawful for any corporation, company, or association, so in default, to  transact any business in the municipality or fire protection district until  the sum due has been fully paid. But this provision shall not relieve any  corporation, company, or association from the payment of any loss upon any  risk that may be taken in violation of this requirement.The amount of this tax or license fee may be recovered from the  corporation, company, or association which owes it, or from its agent, by  an action in the name and for the use of the municipality or fire  protection district as for money had and received.The municipal comptroller, if any, and if not, then the municipal clerk  or the secretary of the fire protection district, may examine the books,  records, and other papers and documents of a designated agent, corporation,  company, or association for the purpose of verifying the correctness of the  report of the amounts received for fire insurance.This section shall not be applicable to receipts from contracts of  marine insurance, even though they include insurance against fire, where  the premium for the fire insurance is not separately specified.
