§ 5.24.060. Penalties for delinquent licenses.

If a license provided for in this chapter is not paid on or before the thirty-first day of January following the date when it becomes due, as provided in this chapter, then a penalty in an amount equal to ten percent of the license fee due and payable shall be added effective February 1 of that year. An additional ten percent will be added on the first day of each additional month the fee remains unpaid, but in no case will the penalty exceed fifty percent of the amount of the license fee due. No license shall be issued until such penalty has been paid. In addition thereto, such delinquent licensee shall be liable for prosecution and the penalty provided for failure to pay the license as required by this chapter.
