If the homestead is owned by more than one person, the signatures of all owners shall be required for the waiver.
# C.
Any additional funds received under these provisions shall be remitted to the sheriff or property tax collector of the parish in which the property is located, who shall then remit the amount, minus administrative costs, to the single sales tax collector for the parish.
