92.560 Tax bills, how made out and delivered in cities of second class. As soon as the tax levy ordinance in each city of the second class becomes in force, the <br>auditor shall deliver the assessment books to the city clerk, who shall from them make out <br>the tax bills. Each bill shall show each lot and the assessment thereon separately, the <br>name of the supposed owner, the net total assessment of personal property, other than <br>motor vehicles governed by the provisions of KRS 132.487, against the person and the <br>tax thereon. The tax bills shall be so arranged that the bill for each half-year may be <br>detached and have each part intelligible. There shall be attached to each bill a stub <br>showing in condensed form the items and amounts in the bill, and the bills and stubs shall <br>be numbered consecutively, the number of each stub to correspond to the bill to which it <br>is attached. The bills and stubs shall be bound in book form. As soon as practicable the <br>clerk shall deliver the assessment books and tax bills to the auditor, and together they <br>shall ascertain whether the sum of the tax bills equals the amount of the tax which, at the <br>rate fixed, the total assessment should realize, and if it does not, they shall find and <br>correct the error. When the error is corrected, the auditor shall receipt for the assessment <br>books and tax bills. The auditor shall then deliver all tax bills to the treasurer and take his <br>receipt for the gross amount of the bills. As soon as practicable after receiving the tax <br>bills, the treasurer shall mail to each person against whom a tax bill has been listed, or to <br>his guardian or conservator, a postpaid notice, directed to the best of his knowledge, <br>stating the number and amount of the bill, the date when due and the penalties imposed <br>for nonpayment. The failure of the treasurer to send the notice, or of the taxpayer, <br>guardian or conservator to receive it, shall not invalidate the tax or the interest or <br>penalties, or any subsequent proceeding for the collection thereof. Effective: January 1, 1985 <br>History: Amended 1984 Ky. Acts ch. 8, sec. 1, effective July 13, 1984; and ch. 54, sec. 16, effective January 1, 1985. -- Amended 1982 Ky. Acts ch. 141, sec. 50, <br>effective January 1, 1985. -- Recodified 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 208, sec. 1, effective <br>October 1, 1942, from Ky. Stat. sec. 3184. Legislative Research Commission Note. This section was amended by two 1984 Acts which do not appear to be in conflict and have been compiled together. Note: 1980 Ky. Acts ch. 396, sec. 53 would have amended this section effective July 1, 1982. However, 1980 Ky. Acts ch. 396 was repealed by 1982 Ky. Acts ch. 141, <br>sec. 146, also effective July 1, 1982.
