Sec. 9. (a) On or before October 15 of each year, each county
auditor shall, make a settlement with the department as to the
aggregate amount of property tax replacement credits extended to
taxpayers in the auditor's county during the first eight (8) months of

auditor shall make a settlement with the department along with the
filing of the county auditor's December settlement as to the aggregate
amount of property tax replacement credits extended to taxpayers in

If the aggregate credits allowed during either period exceed the
property tax replacement funds allocated and distributed to the
county treasurer for that same period, as provided in sections 4 and

excess to the auditor of state who shall issue a warrant, payable from
the property tax replacement fund, to the treasurer of the state
ordering the payment of the excess to the county treasurer. If the
distribution exceeds the aggregate credits, the county treasurer shall

shall be redeposited in the property tax replacement fund.
