The Taxing Authority acknowledges the Collector may engage one or more third-party collection agencies to pursue and collect delinquent tax in situations where the amount of delinquent tax owed is relatively small and it is therefore cost-prohibitive for the Collector to dedicate the upfront resources necessary to pursue such delinquent tax. The Taxing Authority hereby approves of the imposition on and collection of a fee from any delinquent taxpayer by any third-party collection agency engaged by the Collector, provided such fee does not exceed 25% of the amount of tax collected from any such taxpayer.
