[Res. 16-2008, 9/2/2008]
1.
From and after the enactment of this Part, to each delinquent Act
511 tax, levy or obligation owed to the taxing authority, there shall
be added such costs, attorney's fees, charges and expenses incurred
in the delinquent collection process. Such additional charges shall
be collected in addition to all interest and penalties as are allowed
by law.
2.
Such fees and charges shall be reasonable and the same are hereby
established in a cost rate schedule as attached herein and made a
part hereof as Schedule "A." Said schedule of costs is hereby deemed
to be reasonable, fair and necessary in order to allow the taxing
authority to collect such sum due. This schedule may be amended from
time to time by resolution of the governing body of this taxing authority.
3.
Any person or entity empowered to collect sums on behalf of the taxing
authority is directed to add such costs of collection as are incurred
to the extent allowed as set forth in Schedule "A." Such person or
entity shall be entitled to retain an amount equal to such sums from
delinquent collections. Such sums collected pursuant to this Part
shall be in addition to any tax penalty, interest or other costs already
part of the delinquent account or assessment.
4.
Any resolution in conflict with this Part shall be deemed to have
been repealed to the extent of that conflict. If any portion of this
Part is deemed to be void, unenforceable or unconstitutional, then
it is the intent of the governing body of this taxing authority that
it would have enacted the balance of this Part irrespective of said
invalid portion.
