     (b) services to begin within 12 months.
     (2) The board shall certify to the county commissioners of the county served by the solid waste management district the service charge needed for the current fiscal year, the due but unpaid service charges, and a description of the property against which the service charges are to be levied.
     (3) The department of revenue shall ensure that the amount of the service charge is placed on property tax notices and that the service charge is collected with property taxes.
