Allowing for a paid commission for sheriffs
HB 3108 would add a $15,000 annual commission to West Virginia sheriffs' pay after they collect 85% of all property taxes (real and personal) in their county. This commission, paid from tax funds, would become part of the sheriff's regular compensation alongside their existing salary. The bill directly affects county sheriffs, who serve as the chief tax collectors for their jurisdictions. It modifies current compensation by creating a fixed payment tied to a specific tax collection threshold.
