Appendix 4508. Late payment surcharges.

In the event any fee required to be paid by this Article, Articles 1.1 through 1.5, inclusive, of this Chapter or any fee collected by the CUPA on behalf of participating agencies, is not paid within thirty (30) calendar days after the due date specified with respect to such fees, a late payment surcharge shall be added thereto in an amount equal to ten (10) percent of the fee if the fee and the surcharge are both paid within sixty (60) calendar days after the due date and thirty (30) percent of the fee if the fee and the surcharge are not both paid within the 60-day period. The surcharge is imposed to recover the estimated average additional cost incurred by the County on behalf of the CUPA in connection with late payment applications and fees, and not as a penalty.
