(A) The assessment for the city services refuse collection fee shall be rendered as part of the monthly city utilities bill and shall become due 15 days following the date rendered, provided that when the fifteenth day falls on a Sunday or holiday, the bill shall become due on the next business day.
(B) Late payment penalty. The city shall assess a 10% penalty if any city services refuse collection fee remains unpaid for 15 days after it is due. The city may pursue a civil action to collect unpaid city services refuse collection fee, together with the amount of the penalty and reasonable attorney fees pursuant to I.C. 36-9-30-21(j).
(C) The city services fees may be billed to a user who occupies the property as a tenant, unless otherwise requested in writing by the owner, but billing shall in no way relieve the owner from the liability in event payment is not made as required herein. The owners of properties served, which are occupied by tenants, shall have the right to examine the collection records of the city for the purpose of determining whether bills have been paid by those tenants, provided that an examination shall be made at the utility billing office at the hours in which the office is open for business.
