Whenever a check or other written instrument
tendered for payment on any account owing to the Borough is returned
for insufficient funds, a service charge in the amount of $20 for
each returned check or other written instrument shall be added to
the account.
The service charge authorized by this chapter
shall be collected in the same manner prescribed by law for the collection
of the account for which the check or other written instrument is
tendered.
If the account for which the check or other
written instrument is tendered is for a tax or special assessment,
the service charge authorized by this chapter shall be included on
whatever list of delinquent accounts is prepared for the enforcement
of the lien.
Whenever a check or other written instrument
is returned for insufficient funds, the governing body may require
all future payments to be tendered in cash or by certified or cashier's
check.
