The money shall be paid to the treasurer of the county in which the retailer’s or dealer’s premises are located if they are located outside the corporate limits of a city or town.

     (c) The distribution from the excise fund shall continue to be paid to the jurisdiction on record with the commission, until the chairman of the commission receives the notice under this section that the retailer’s or dealer’s premises have been annexed into the city or town. An annexing city or town:

(1) shall be paid distributions that accrue after the date the chairman receives notice; and

(2) is not entitled to retroactive payment of any distributions accruing before the date the chairman receives notice.
