Ordinance Amending Section 16-19 of the Town Code
To Provide a Penalty for Delinquent Tax Payments

WHEREAS, the Pulaski Town Code currently provides for a minimum penalty of past due
personal property taxes and real estate taxes; and,
WHEREAS, the penalty for failure to pay taxes will be in the amount of ten (10) percent of
past due taxes, which was the amount prior to the establishment of the minimum penalty in
May 1993; and,
WHEREAS, this amendment will eliminate the minimum tax penalty and establish a uniform
ten (10) percent penalty;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it Ordained by the Council of the Town of Pulaski, Virginia, sitting
in regular session on October 17, 1995, that Section 16-19(a) of the Pulaski Town Code is
amended to read as follows:
(a) A penalty for failure to pay any tax will be assessed on the day after the
installment is due. The penalty will be in the amount of ten percent (10%) of
the past due taxes and when so assessed shall become a part of the tax. No
penalty for failure to pay any tax shall be imposed for any assessment made later
than two (2) weeks prior to the day on which the taxes are due if the assessment
is made thereafter through the fault of a local official and if such assessment is
paid within two (2) weeks after the notice thereof is mailed.
This Ordinance is effective as to all taxes due after its adoption and is adopted this 17th day of
