7-7-2265. Tax levy for payment of bonds. (1) The board of county commissioners, at the time of making the levy of taxes for county purposes, must levy a separate and special tax upon all taxable property in the county for the payment of interest on and principal of each series or issue of bonds outstanding. The tax levy for any one series or issue of bonds must be entirely separate and distinct from the levy for any other series or issue of bonds.

(2) Except as provided in subsection (3), the levy made for the purpose of paying interest on and principal of each series or issue of bonds must be high enough to raise an amount sufficient to pay all interest on and so much of the principal, if any, of the bonds as will become due and payable during the then-current fiscal year or within 90 days after the fiscal year, as shown by the treasurer's statement provided by 7-7-2264. If no part of the principal of the bonds become due and payable within that time, then the tax levy must be high enough to:

(a) raise an amount sufficient to pay all interest that will become due and payable during the current fiscal year or within 90 days after the fiscal year; and

(b) place in the sinking fund for the issue or series of bonds, for the payment of the principal when it becomes due, an amount not less than a sum produced by dividing the whole amount for which the series or issue of bonds was originally issued by the number of years for which the series or issue was originally issued to run.

(3) The annual levies made for the purpose of paying off bonds that do not provide for periodic interest payments but, rather, are sold at a discount from their face value, as provided in 7-7-2212 through 7-7-2215, must be actuarially sufficient so that at the time for redemption, there is an amount in the sinking fund sufficient to redeem the bonds.
