Third quarter (July through September), on or before July 10 of the quarter;
Fourth quarter (October through December), on or before October 10 of the quarter.

A delinquent fee penalty consisting of an amount of ten percent (10%) of the quarterly license fee shall be added to all payments received after becoming delinquent.
