If the premium is not paid as provided in division (A) of section 146.07 of the Revised Code, the state fire marshal shall certify such failure as an assessment against the member of the fund to the auditor of the county within which the member is located. The county auditor shall then withhold the amount of such assessment, together with interest at the rate of six per cent from the due date of the premium, from the next ensuing tax settlement due the members and pay the amount to the treasurer of state to the credit of the volunteer fire fighters' dependents fund. In the event the secretary of the volunteer fire fighters' dependents fund board fails to forward a certificate of statement of the current assessed property valuation as provided in section 146.05 of the Revised Code, the state fire marshal shall use division (A)(5) of section 146.07 of the Revised Code as a basis for such assessment.
