Penalties – Will be charged on unpaid taxes on the first day of each calendar month thereafter in which default continues but not after the end of the year in which the taxes are levied.

Interest – For each month or fraction thereof will be added to all taxes due and unpaid from December 31st in the year in which the taxes are levied until the taxes are paid.
