Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed
Ord. No. 2003-2, adopted 11-6-2003.
It being found that the reporting of motor vehicle
tax delinquencies to the Department of Motor Vehicles and the reporting
thereafter of payments on account thereof to the Department of Motor
Vehicles, all pursuant to General Statutes § 14-33, carry
an administrative cost to the Town reasonably estimated at $5 for
each such delinquency, which cost is found to be a cost of collection
of the motor vehicle taxes due, therefore, pursuant to General Statutes
§ 12-166, the Revenue Collector shall receive from each
taxpayer whose motor vehicle taxes were delinquent and whose delinquency
was reported to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles pursuant to General
Statutes § 14-33, in addition to the delinquent taxes and
all interest thereon, a fee of $5 for each such reported delinquency.
[Added 7-1-2010]
