Text

In case of such a payment of a withdrawn or forfeited special assessment, the municipal collector or county clerk, as the case may be, shall collect a penalty of 12% on the amount of the forfeiture and on the amount of the withdrawn special assessment together with interest and costs to the date of withdrawal or forfeiture for the first year after the date of that withdrawal or forfeiture, and after that first year interest at the rate of 6% annually. The municipal collector or the county clerk, as the case may be, shall pay over to the officer of the municipality entitled to receive the same, within 30 days after the collection has been made, all special assessments, together with interest, penalties, and also statutory costs advanced by the municipality and collected by him. But if any lot or parcel of land should again be offered for sale, because of failure to pay that delinquent special assessment, and again withdrawn from sale, there shall be no second charge of 12% for the first year following the subsequent withdrawal. Instead, the interest rate shall continue at the rate of 6% annually. There may be second and subsequent charges of 12% for successive forfeitures. The municipal collector or county clerk shall be entitled to charge and collect from the person for whom the service is rendered, a fee of 40 cents for each estimate of the amount necessary to pay a withdrawn or forfeited special assessment, including costs, and a fee of $1 for each certificate of deposit for payment of such a withdrawn or forfeited special assessment.
