No further penalties, except as hereinafter provided, shall be added to any installment of taxes, unless one or more installments remain unpaid, and the lands upon which the installments are due are returned under existing laws to the County Commissioners for nonpayment of taxes, or in case a lien for such unpaid installment or installments is filed under existing laws in the office of the Prothonotary, the additional penalty or interest provided for by such existing return and lien laws shall apply.
The payment of the first installment by a taxpayer before the same becomes delinquent shall conclusively evidence an intention to pay his/her taxes on the installment plan, as provided by the within article.
Where a taxpayer shall fail to evidence an intention to pay on the installment plan, as provided for herein, his taxes shall become due and payable and be collected as elsewhere provided, subject to the applicable discounts and penalties otherwise provided.
