The measure adds a $15,000 yearly bonus to a sheriff's existing salary once the sheriff has collected at least 85% of all real and personal property taxes in the county. The commission is funded from the tax collections and becomes part of the regular budgeted compensation. It aims to incentivize timely tax collection by county sheriffs.
