7-8-2610. Distribution of proceeds of timber sales. The proceeds of every such sale or of the issuance of any such permit shall be paid over to the county treasurer who shall apportion and distribute the same in the following manner:

(1) The proceeds of each sale up to the amount of $10 shall be credited to the county general fund to reimburse such for expenditures made therefrom in connection with the holding of such sale or the issuance of such permit.

(2) If there shall be any amount remaining of such proceeds and such remainder is in excess of the aggregate amount of all taxes and assessments accrued against such property for all funds and purposes, without penalty and interest, then so much of such remaining proceeds shall be credited to each fund or purpose as the same would have received had such taxes been paid before becoming delinquent, and all excess shall be credited to the general fund of the county.

(3) If there shall be any amount remaining of such proceeds and such remainder is less in amount than the aggregate amount of all taxes and assessments accrued against such property for all funds and purposes, without penalty or interest, such proceeds shall be prorated between such funds and purposes in the proportion that the amount of taxes and assessments accrued against such property for each such fund or purpose bears to the aggregate amount of taxes and assessments accrued against such property for all funds and purposes.
