In the event the delinquent tax and late fee is not paid in full within 60 days of delinquency, a $200 administrative collection fee shall be imposed on the 61st day of delinquency and each month thereafter the tax and late fee remains unpaid. Failure to pay the tax will also constitute a violation of §§ 37.190 through 37.201 and subject the violator to the penalty provisions of § 10.999.
