On or before July 1 in each year, the tax collector must make final settlement, under oath, with the Comptroller, of all matters pertaining to the office of tax collector and pay over to the State Treasurer the balance which may be found due from him for taxes with which he is chargeable under the laws of the state, and at that time he must also account to the Comptroller and pay over to the proper governmental authorities and any holder of a tax lien certificate issued pursuant to Acts 1995, No. 95-408 all money received by him for the sale of lands and other property which may have been sold for payment of taxes and also account to the Comptroller for all lands bought by the state. He must also report under oath to the Comptroller and pay over to the State Treasurer all escaped taxes assessed and collected by him. For failure of any tax collector to make any of the settlements herein required to be made by July 10 of each year, he shall forfeit ten dollars ($10) per day, which shall be deducted from the amount of commissions due and payable to him on such settlements respectively; and it shall be the duty of the Comptroller, or the county treasurer, or the custodian of the county funds, as the case may be, to withhold all commissions in cases where settlements are not made by July 10 of each year.
