The Sheriff is directed by KRS 134.119 to be the collector of state, county, and district property taxes. The Sheriff's property tax responsibilities include the collection of all types of property tax bills, including any additional, supplemental, omitted, or franchise property tax bills that are issued. All monthly collections must be accounted for in a report submitted to each taxing district.
For collecting the property taxes, the Sheriff's Office receives a percentage of the total amount collected for each district as a commission. This commission is the primary source of funding for the Sheriff's Office.
At the end of each collection year, the Sheriff must make a settlement with the Department of Revenue for the state property taxes collected and with all local districts for which the Sheriff collected property taxes.
The Sheriff is required to annually execute a bond for the faithful performance of the duties of the office. The bond shall be executed prior to the Sheriff collecting taxes for the year, and it shall be approved by the governing body of the county and then filed with the county clerk and Department of Revenue. A separate state revenue bond is not required by the Department of Revenue; however, the governing body of the county may require the Sheriff to enter into an additional bond.
