                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

HOW TREASURER MAY SECURE FINAL DISCHARGE FROM LIABILITY (§ 58.1-3145)

Any treasurer or, if he has died, his personal representative, at any time after
the expiration of his term shall produce before the circuit court of the county
or city of which he is treasurer the respective certificates of the Comptroller,
of the governing body of such county or city and of the school board of such
county or city. These certificates shall show the final settlement of his
account as treasurer and the proper accounting for and turning over of all the
moneys or other property, including the tax tickets for the current year, that
had or should have come into his hands as such treasurer during the term and the
receipt of his successor in office, provided for in § 58.1-3138. The court
shall then enter an order requiring the clerk of the court to publish, once a
week, for four successive weeks, in some newspaper to be designated in the order
and by posting at the front door of the courthouse of the county or city, a
notice that such treasurer will, on the day to be named in the order, move the
court to enter an order of final discharge to such treasurer. These provisions
shall not apply to treasurers who retain their office at the end of the term.
