(b) In order to ascertain the amount of taxes due when the property is located in more than one political subdivision, the Recorder shall not accept for recording such a deed for such property unless the deed is accompanied by a statement of value showing what taxes are due each municipality.
(c) On or before the tenth of each month, the Recorder shall pay over to the borough all local realty transfer taxes collected, less two percent for the use of the County, together with a report containing the information as is required by the Commonwealth in reporting collections of the State realty transfer tax. The two percent commission shall be paid to the County.
