OAR 340-105-0130: Facility Fee Late Charges and Collections

(1) For all fees and charges set forth in chapter 340, division 105, a late charge equal to ten percent of the fee due shall be assessed if the fees are not received by the Department on the due date shown on the invoice. An additional late charge of ten percent of the unpaid amount shall also be assessed each 30 days that the invoice remains unpaid. After 90 days no further Department late charges shall be assessed; however, such invoices may be referred to the Department of Revenue for collection or collected in Small Claims Court. Accounts referred to the Department of Revenue for collection or collected in Small Claims Court shall be increased by 20 percent of the unpaid amount or $100, whichever is greater, to recover a portion of the costs for referral or collection. (2) In the event of a specific question or concern regarding charges or fees covered by chapter 340, division 105, the Department will upon request, review and respond to information provided by the permittee or permit applicant and meet with the person(s) to discuss the charges or fees. (3) For applications on file with the Department at the time this rule becomes effective, the Department will determine on a pro rata basis the actual costs remaining to complete processing of the permit application.
