It is the intent of this section to exercise the authority to impose fees for returned checks set forth in the Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2509.1 and Government Code Section 6147.

A. The fees established by this section have been set in accordance with the provisions of Government Code Section 54985, et seq.

B. Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2509.1, there is imposed on every person making any payment to the county for taxes, assessments, or penalties by means of check, which is returned unpaid by the bank upon which it was drawn, a fee of ten dollars.

  1. The fee imposed by this subsection is no greater than the average cost of notifying issuers of returned checks, processing the returned check and making the required cancellations on the tax roll.

  2. Said fee shall be added to the tax bill and collected as costs are recovered pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2621.

  3. The tax collector is authorized to require future tax, assessment or penalty payments by persons whose checks have been returned unpaid, to be made by means other than negotiable paper.

C. Pursuant to Government Code Section 6157(b), there is imposed on every person making any payment to the county for any license, permit, or fee, or in payment of any obligation owing to the county, by means of a check, which is returned unpaid by the bank upon which it was drawn, a fee of ten dollars.

  1. The fee imposed by this subdivision is a reasonable charge based upon the average cost of notifying issuers of returned checks, processing the returned check and correcting payment records required by the return of the check.

  2. The fee shall be added to the underlying obligation for which the returned check was given, other than an obligation which constitutes a lien on real property.

  3. The officer or department to which the returned check was given is authorized to require future payments by persons whose checks have been returned unpaid, to be made by means other than negotiable paper.

D. Immediately upon the return of a check unpaid by the bank upon which it was drawn, the county officer or department receiving such check shall cancel any record of payment and give notice to the maker of the check of such cancellation pursuant to Government Code Section 25303.6.
