§1359. Collection of taxes
The provisions of the constitution and all laws regulating the collection of taxes and the creating of tax liens and mortgages, tax penalties and tax sales shall also apply to the collection of all taxes authorized by this Chapter. The sheriff and ex officio tax collector of the parish of Plaquemines shall make a monthly settlement with the treasurer of the district governing authority and receive from him a receipt for the amount of taxes paid over, in the same manner as tax collectors are required to settle with the auditor of the state. The tax collector shall receive from the treasurer the same quietus for a full settlement of taxes due and exigible in any given year and account for the delinquencies or deductions in the same manner as though accounting to the auditor of the state for state taxes. The tax collector shall retain from taxes collected by him for the district the commission thereon allowed him by law on special taxes and shall deposit the amount thereof with the parish treasurer to the credit of the sheriff's salary fund. Upon failure of the tax collector to comply with the provisions of this chapter the district shall proceed against him and the sureties on his official bond for the collection of whatever money may be owing to the district for such special taxes.
