The <br /> purpose of this measure, which amends Section 24-18: Motor vehicle tax; minimum tax; <br /> penalties for delinquency, is to change the calculation of penalties for delinquent <br /> payment of vehicle weight tax from 10% of the amount due to flat fees of $8 for vehicles <br /> taxed at the passenger car rate and $20 for vehicles taxed at the commercial rate. <br /> The flat fee will simplify the calculation for the public and the Vehicle Registration and <br /> Licensing staff and will result in more efficient operations. It is also the method used by <br /> all the other counties in this state. The rate of $8 for vehicles taxed at the passenger car <br /> is approximately the same as the penalty resulting from a 10% calculation. The rate of <br /> $20 for vehicles taxed at the commercial rate represents a moderate increase over <br /> current penalty amount. <br /> If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call Lee Lord, Vehicle Registration <br /> and Licensing Manager. <br /> <br /> <br /> Nancy l.
