Money in a property reassessment fund may not be transferred or reassigned to any other fund and may not be used for any purposes other than those set forth in this section.
(b) All counties shall use modern, detailed soil maps in the reassessment of agricultural land.
(c) The county treasurer of each county shall, in accordance with IC 5-13-9, invest any money accumulated in the property reassessment fund. Any interest received from investment of the money shall be paid into the property reassessment fund.
(d) An appropriation under this section must be approved by the fiscal body of the county after the review and recommendation of the county assessor. However, in a county with a township assessor in every township, the county assessor does not review an appropriation under this section, and only the fiscal body must approve an appropriation under this section.
