567.14. Confessional school boards shall collect the surtaxes they impose. Such a board may, however, enter into an agreement with the municipal corporation having jurisdiction over the sending of municipal tax accounts in the territory or part of the territory of the confessional school board in order to have the surtax collected on its behalf by the municipal corporation.
Where an agreement has been made, the municipal corporation shall collect, on behalf of the school board, the amount of the surtax in the manner it sees fit and with the same rights and obligations as for the collection of the municipal real estate taxes. In such a case, section 367 applies.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the payment of the surtax of a confessional school board shall be demanded in one payment and there is no obligation to demand payment of it in the same account as the municipal tax where the surtax is collected by a municipal corporation.
In the case of a suit for recovery of the surtaxes, the clerk of the Provincial Court and the prothonotary of the Superior Court have the same powers as in the case of a suit for recovery of municipal taxes.
