The bill would require that county assessors withhold the cost of property assessment and tax collection off the top of the total amount of property taxes revenue collected countywide, excluding tax revenue to service bonded debt. The county's costs would then be prorated among the taxing jurisdictions according to the tax amount collected for each.
