The tax collector on October 15 of each year and on the first and fifteenth day of each month thereafter shall make under oath, to the county treasurer and school treasurer or, if there is no county treasurer or school treasurer in the county, to the custodian of the funds of the county and schools, an itemized report in writing, a copy of which shall be by the collector forwarded to the Comptroller, and a copy filed with the probate judge, setting forth separately the taxes, interest, and penalties collected by him for the state, county, and schools since the making of his last report; and within five days after making such report, he must pay to the State Treasurer all state taxes, interest, and penalties then due from him to the state, and he must also pay to the county treasurer and to the school treasurer or, if there is no county treasurer or school treasurer in the county, to the custodian of the funds of the county and of the schools, all county taxes, interest, and penalties and all school taxes, interest, and penalties then due from him to the county and to the schools, by him before that time collected. Where any official other than a tax collector is charged with the collection of ad valorem taxes on automobiles, such official may make his said reports and distribution of ad valorem taxes collected on automobiles, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, and all other motor vehicles at the same time he distributes money received by him for motor vehicle licenses. The county treasurer and the school treasurer, or, if there is no county treasurer or school treasurer in the county, then the custodian of the funds of the county and of the schools, shall give to the collector a receipt in duplicate of such semimonthly payment, one of which duplicates shall be promptly forwarded to the Comptroller by the tax collector. If no collection of taxes, interest, or penalties have been collected by the collector prior to any reporting date, he shall make the report herein required stating under oath that no taxes, interest, or penalties were collected during the period for which report is made. Should report and payment of taxes, interest, and penalties herein required not be made within 10 days after same is due, the Comptroller shall immediately notify the Chief Examiner of Public Accounts, who shall forthwith cause the books of the official to be examined, and the Comptroller shall also immediately notify the tax collector's bondsmen, who may within 30 days from date of notice from the Comptroller withdraw from further responsibility as such bondsmen by giving 15 days' notice by certified or registered mail to the tax collector, the probate judge of the county and the Comptroller, but such bondsmen shall not be relieved of any responsibility with respect to the tax collector arising during the time they are on his bond. When the bondsmen on a tax collector's bond serve notice of their desire to withdraw from the responsibility as such bondsmen as herein provided, it shall be the duty of the tax collector to make, on or before the withdrawal date of his then bondsmen, a new bond in an amount and with such surety as may be required by law. Upon failure of the tax collector to make such new bond, the Comptroller shall notify the Governor that a vacancy exists in the office of tax collector of the county, and the Governor shall appoint a tax collector to serve the remainder of the term for which the former tax collector was elected or appointed to serve. The tax collector appointed to serve the remainder of the term shall, before entering upon the duties of the office, make bond in the amount and with such surety as is required by this code.
