This subsection does not apply to a county surveyor, registrar of vital statistics, or notary public or to a county officer required to be compensated on a salary basis.
(b) Before the expiration of the first month of the fiscal year, the county clerk shall deliver to the comptroller of public accounts a certified copy of the commissioners court's order.
