Increases the commission for West Virginia county sheriffs collecting taxes.
West Virginia HB4582 amends the Code of West Virginia to increase the commission for county sheriffs collecting taxes. Beginning July 1, 2026, sheriffs will receive an annual commission of $30,000 for collecting taxes on real and personal property. This increase is justified by new duties imposed on sheriffs by federal acts, which do not violate the West Virginia Constitution. The commission is charged against tax funds and becomes part of the sheriff's annual compensation.
