All taxes paid on or before August thirty-first of each year shall be collected by the Treasurer without collection fee. On September first he shall add to all taxes then unpaid two percent of said taxes as a collection fee and on the first day of October and of each succeeding month he shall add to all taxes unpaid then an additional one-half of one percent of said taxes as a collection fee. Such collection fee shall belong to the Village and constitute a charge and shall be a lien against the property to which the taxes themselves apply, collectable in the same manner as the taxes to which they are added.
It is provided, however, that if delivery of the Tax Roll to the Treasurer is delayed for any reason by more than thirty days after June twenty-fifth, the application of the schedule of collection fees provided therein shall be postponed thirty days for the first thirty days of such delay and shall be postponed an additional thirty days for each additional thirty days, or major fraction thereof, of such delay.
