(Amended by Ord. No. 181,744, Eff. 7/15/11.) A late charge equal to two times the fee or cost and a collection fee equal to 50 percent of the original fee or cost shall be imposed if any fees or costs imposed by this Division are not paid within 30 days of service of notice of the imposition of the fee or cost or, if timely appealed pursuant to Division 10 of this Article, of any decision on the appeal. The City shall have the right to bring legal action in any court to enforce the order and collect the amount of the outstanding fees, late charges and costs. The Department may waive the penalty imposed pursuant to this Article if the Department determines that good cause exists for the owner’s failure to pay in a timely manner. The Department may make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provision of this Section.
