14601460 Upon receipt of a certified copy of an ordinance or resolution
14611461 authorizing the levy of a local retailers' sales tax, the director of taxation
14621462 shall cause such taxes to be collected within or without the boundaries of
14631463 such taxing subdivision at the same time and in the same manner provided
14641464 for the collection of the state retailers' sales tax. Such copy shall be
14651465 submitted to the director of taxation within 30 days after adoption of any
14661466 such ordinance or resolution. The director of taxation shall confirm that all
14671467 provisions of law applicable to the authorization of local sales tax have
14681468 been followed prior to causing the collection. If the director of taxation
14691469 discovers that a city or county did not comply with any provision of law
14701470 applicable to the authorization of a local sales tax after collection has
14711471 commenced, the director shall immediately notify the city or county and
14721472 cease collection of such sales tax until such noncompliance is remedied.
14731473 All moneys collected by the director of taxation under the provisions of
14741474 this section shall be credited to a county and city retailers' sales tax fund
14751475 which fund is hereby established in the state treasury, except that all
14761476 moneys collected by the director of taxation pursuant to the authority
14771477 granted in K.S.A. 12-187(b)(22), and amendments thereto, shall be
14781478 credited to the Wilson county capital improvements fund. Any refund due
14791479 on any county or city retailers' sales tax collected pursuant to this act shall
14801480 be paid out of the sales tax refund fund and reimbursed by the director of
14811481 taxation from collections of local retailers' sales tax revenue. Except for
14821482 local retailers' sales tax revenue required to be deposited in the
14831483 redevelopment bond fund established under K.S.A. 74-8927, and
14841484 amendments thereto, all local retailers' sales tax revenue collected within
14851485 any county or city pursuant to this act shall be apportioned and remitted at
14861486 least quarterly by the state treasurer, on instruction from the director of
14871487 taxation, to the treasurer of such county or city.
14881488 Revenue that is received from the imposition of a local retailers' sales
14891489 tax that exceeds the amount of revenue required to pay the costs of a
14901490 special project for which such revenue was pledged shall be credited to the
14911491 city or county general fund, as the case requires.
14921492 The director of taxation shall provide, upon request by a city or county
14931493 clerk or treasurer or finance officer of any city or county levying a local
14941494 retailers' sales tax, monthly reports identifying each retailer doing business
14951495 in such city or county or making taxable sales sourced to such city or
14961496 county, setting forth the tax liability and the amount of such tax remitted
14971497 by each retailer during the preceding month and identifying each business
14981498 location maintained by the retailer and such retailer's sales or use tax
14991499 registration or account number. Such report shall be made available to the
15001500 clerk or treasurer or finance officer of such city or county within a
15011501 reasonable time after it has been requested from the director of taxation.
15021502 The director of taxation shall be allowed to assess a reasonable fee for the

16491649 /2 shall be retained by the county for its sole use and benefit.
16501650 (2) In lieu of the apportionment formula provided in subsection (a),
16511651 all money received by the director of taxation from a countywide sales tax
16521652 imposed within Montgomery county pursuant to the election held on
16531653 November 8, 1994, shall be remitted to and shall be retained by the county
16541654 and expended only for the purpose for which the revenue received from
16551655 the tax was pledged. All revenue apportioned and paid from the imposition
16561656 of such tax to the treasurer of any city prior to the effective date of this act
16571657 shall be remitted to the county treasurer and expended only for the purpose
16581658 for which the revenue received from the tax was pledged.
16591659 (3) In lieu of the apportionment formula provided in subsection (a),
16601660 on and after the effective date of this act, all moneys received by the
16611661 director of taxation from a countywide retailers' sales tax imposed within
16621662 Phillips county pursuant to the election held on September 20, 2005, shall
16631663 be remitted to and shall be retained by the county and expended only for

16651665 (c) (1) Except as otherwise provided by paragraph (2) of this
16661666 subsection, for purposes of subsections (a) and (b), the term "total tangible
16671667 property tax levies" means the aggregate dollar amount of tax revenue
16681668 derived from ad valorem tax levies applicable to all tangible property
16691669 located within each such city or county. The ad valorem property tax levy
16701670 of any county or city district entity or subdivision shall be included within
16711671 this term if the levy of any such district entity or subdivision is applicable
16721672 to all tangible property located within each such city or county.
16731673 (2) For the purposes of subsections (a) and (b), any ad valorem
16741674 property tax levied on property located in a city in Johnson county for the
16751675 purpose of providing fire protection service in such city shall be included
16761676 within the term "total tangible property tax levies" for such city regardless
16771677 of its applicability to all tangible property located within each such city. If
16781678 the tax is levied by a district which extends across city boundaries, for
16791679 purposes of this computation, the amount of such levy shall be apportioned
16801680 among each city in which such district extends in the proportion that such
16811681 tax levied within each city bears to the total tax levied by the district.
16821682 (d) (1) All revenue received from a countywide retailers' sales tax
16831683 imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187(b)(2), (3)(C), (3)(F), (3)(G), (3)(I), (6),

17301730 the county and expended only for the purpose for which the revenue
17311731 received from the tax was pledged.
17321732 (2) Except as otherwise provided in K.S.A. 12-187(b)(5), and
17331733 amendments thereto, all revenues received from a countywide retailers'
17341734 sales tax imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187(b)(5), and amendments
17351735 thereto, shall be remitted to and shall be retained by the county and
17361736 expended only for the purpose for which the revenue received from the tax
17371737 was pledged.
17381738 (3) All revenue received from a countywide retailers' sales tax
17391739 imposed pursuant to K.S.A. 12-187(b)(26), and amendments thereto, shall
17401740 be remitted to and shall be retained by the county and expended only for
17411741 the purpose for which the revenue received from the tax was pledged
17421742 unless the question of imposing a countywide retailers' sales tax authorized
17431743 by K.S.A. 12-187(b)(26), and amendments thereto, includes the
17441744 apportionment of revenue prescribed in subsection (a).
17451745 (e) All revenue apportioned to the several cities of the county shall be
17461746 paid to the respective treasurers thereof and deposited in the general fund
17471747 of the city. Whenever the territory of any city is located in two or more
17481748 counties and any one or more of such counties do not levy a countywide
17491749 retailers' sales tax, or whenever such counties do not levy countywide
17501750 retailers' sales taxes at a uniform rate, the revenue received by such city
17511751 from the proceeds of the countywide retailers' sales tax, as an alternative to
17521752 depositing the same in the general fund, may be used for the purpose of
17531753 reducing the tax levies of such city upon the taxable tangible property
