Each county is responsible to the state for the full amount of the taxes levied for state purposes, except such amounts or taxes as have been canceled as uncollectible, or canceled or abated, as provided by law. If any county treasurer proves to be a defaulter, to any amount, of state revenue, the county shall make up the deficiency from revenues derived from the county’s    general fund levy authority over a period of three years, without interest, and the county can have recourse to the official bond of the county treasurer for indemnity.
