1. Each county in which is located land belonging to the state which consists of 20,000 acres and from which the county receives no tax revenue may receive from the State Forestry Commission a grant of funds for such land. The amount of funds to be granted may not exceed the amount the county would have received were the land subject to taxation during the applicable time period based on property evaluation and millage assessment.
2. Immediately upon an evaluation of the property involved and a determination of the millage assessment for the property, the county tax official for the county involved shall bill the State Forestry Commission for the proper amount as determined under this Code section. The county tax official shall send the bill to the State Forestry Commission at the same time as the county tax bills are sent to the property owners of the county who are subject to county taxation.
