960264633Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 58.1-3914 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 58.1-3914. Delivery of receipts to taxpayers when taxes collected.
The treasurer shall deliver on request a receipt to each
taxpayer who makes payment of taxes or levies due by cash or money order,
and on request to each other taxpayer from whom he has
collected taxes or levies, showing plainly the date of payment and the tax
ticket description of each parcel for which payment was made. The treasurer may
request that the taxpayer return a form to be marked as a receipt, and may,
except in the year the real estate is transferred, charge a reasonable sum, not
to exceed two dollars, to cover the cost of preparing any additional receipt.
If any officer knowingly fails to deliver such a receipt at the time of
collecting any tax on the request of the
taxpayer, he shall be deemed guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor. If such
failure is for fraudulent purposes, he shall be guilty of a Class 1
misdemeanor.
