A. If the defendant does not pay all amounts assessed at the time that an order for payment of a fine or costs is entered, the defendant shall pay to the Clerk of the Court an additional time payment fee. Such time payment fee may be assessed once per case. In addition, there may be assessed against a defendant a late penalty fee, as set forth in Appendix A of this code, each time a payment of a fine or fee is not received on or before the date due. If the Court determines that the defendant does not have the financial resources to pay a time payment fee or a late penalty fee, the Court may waive or suspend a time payment fee or a late penalty fee. Amounts collected shall be credited first against the time payment and any late penalty fees assessed under this subsection, then against any fines, and finally against any costs.

B. All time payment fees and late penalty fees collected shall be credited to the general fund.

C. To collect on past due orders of fines or fees, the Town may employ any method available to collect receivables including assigning such accounts to private counsel or private collection agencies. Any fees or costs of the private counsel or collection agency shall also be added to the amount due, but such fees and costs shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount collected. If applicable, the Court may also utilize the procedure set forth in § 42-2-1709(7)(a)(II), (III), (IV) or (V) and certify the amount of the judgment to the Colorado Department of Revenue.
