Cash Assessments shall be due and payable when the Notice of Recording of assessments is published; and shall become delinquent if not paid in full within a period of 90 days after the date of such publication.

Installment Assessments shall be due and payable with any accrued interest, penalties and costs, at any time after the said publication and before the assessed property is sold for delinquency; and they may be paid in full without interest on or before the last day of the month in which the 90 day period terminates. Thereafter the unpaid balance of the principal amount of the assessment shall be divided into equal annual installments. To each current installment interest shall be added as it accrues monthly on the total balance of such principal amount then unpaid; except that interest which accrues on the first day of December preceding the delinquency date for any installment, the balance of which installment is duly paid before delinquency, shall be added instead to the next annual installment. The number of installments and the rate of interest shall correspond with the determination thereof by the Council, and unless each of such installments, including such accrued interest, is paid before the respective date for the delinquency thereof, such installment shall become delinquent and a penalty will be added, and the assessed property will be subject to sale as hereinafter provided. The date for delinquency of the final installment shall also be designated as the maturity date of the assessment.

The first installment including accrued interest, or any part, thereof shall become delinquent if the same is not paid on or before the thirty-first day of December after the October 15th following the expiration of said 90-day period.
Succeeding installments in order shall likewise become delinquent if any amounts thereof are not paid on or before the thirty-first day of each December thereafter until and including the maturity date of the assessment.
After the close of business on the thirty-first day of December each year a penalty shall be added to the amount of any installment of principal and interest then becoming delinquent, which penalty shall be equal in amount to ten per cent of such delinquent amount.

At any time after an installment becomes delinquent and a penalty is added therefor and while the delinquent amount is still unpaid, the Council, in its discretion, may declare the whole unpaid amount on account of the assessment to be in default and delinquent; and after such declaration the lot or parcel of land against which the assessment was levied shall be advertised and sold in the manner hereinafter provided, as though the whole amount or final installment of such assessment had become delinquent for failure to pay prior to the dates therefor.
No additional penalty shall be added for such declared default. But if any person thereafter pays the balance due in order to prevent the sale of the property or to redeem the same from sale the person shall pay, in addition to all other amounts required therefor, the amounts that would also have been necessary on account of penalties that might have been imposed regularly on any delinquency dates after the date of the declaration and before the time of the payment.

The failure to mail any bill or invoice or the failure of any person to receive the same shall not affect the validity of any assessment, lien, penalty, sale or other proceeding provided for in this article.
