The board shall not deliver the certificate of inspection or permit the sheep or haired goats to move until all fees have been paid. The proceeds of the council assessment shall be remitted by the board to the council at the end of each month along with information that will allow the council to make necessary refunds. At the request of the board, the council shall reimburse the board for the reasonable and necessary expenses incurred for such collections and information not to exceed four percent of collections on those sheep and haired goats involved in a transfer of ownership.
