Appendix 4585. Late payment surcharge.

The fees required by Section 4563 shall be deemed delinquent if not paid on or before the due date specified therein. The advance deposit and subsequent fee payment required by Section 4564 shall be deemed delinquent if not paid within the applicable 30-day period specified therein. In the event any fee payment or advance deposit required by Section 4563 or Section 4564 becomes delinquent, a late payment surcharge shall be added thereto in an amount equal to ten (10) percent of the amount due if the amount due and surcharge are both paid within sixty (60) calendar days after the date of delinquency and sixty (60) percent of the amount due if the amount due and the surcharge are not both paid within said 60-day period. The surcharge is imposed to recover the estimated average additional cost incurred by the administering agency in connection with delinquencies and not as a penalty.
