§ 12105 Late Fee Penalty Addition

Food and Agricultural Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

If you don't pay a fee by its due date, a penalty set by the director will be added to what you owe.

Key Takeaways

•Pay fees by the expiration date to avoid extra charges.
•A penalty will be added if the fee is late.
•The exact penalty amount is set by the director under another rule.

Example

You have a $100 business license renewal that must be paid by June 30. You wait until July 5 to pay it.

Because you missed the June 30 deadline, the director adds a penalty (the amount the director decides) to your $100, so you have to pay more than $100.
