§3270. Taxes The provisions of the constitution and all laws regulating the collection of ad valorem taxes, the creating of tax liens and mortgages, tax penalties and tax sales, shall also apply to the collection of the aforesaid taxes herein authorized. The sheriff and ex officio tax collector for the parish in the district shall make a monthly settlement with the treasurer of the commission and receive from him a receipt for the amount of the taxes paid over in the same manner as tax collectors are required to settle with the state comptroller. Such 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 delinquents or deductions in the same manner as though accounting to the state comptroller for state taxes. Such tax collector shall be entitled to retain from all taxes collected by him for the commission, the commission thereon allowed him by law on special taxes. Upon failure of any such tax collector to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph, the commission shall proceed against him and the sureties on his official bond for the collection of whatever money may be owing to the commission for such special taxes.
