(a) In the event that any tax under this chapter remains due or unpaid thirty days after the due dates set forth above, the collector may sue for the recovery of any such tax due or unpaid under this chapter with interest and penalty as provided for in the Municipal Claims and Tax Lien Act or any other applicable law.
(b) If for any reason the tax is not paid when due, interest at the rate of six percent on the amount shall be calculated beginning with the due date of the tax and a penalty of five percent shall be added to the flat rate of such tax for nonpayment thereof. Where suit is brought for the recovery of this tax or other appropriate remedy undertaken, the individual liable therefore shall, in addition be responsible and liable for the costs of collection.
