For services that are conducted before the collection of fees, the Department shall proceed in accordance with this section.

When fees are due under Sections 108.7, 108.8, 108.9, 108.13, or 108.14, the Department shall send the responsible person a notice of payment due.

If the Fire Department does not receive full payment within 60 days after it sent a notice of payment due pursuant to Section 116.1.1, the Department shall send a second notice of payment due to the responsible person. That written notice shall state that the responsible person is liable for the payment of the fee indicated on the notice and provide notice that if payment of the Fire Department does not receive the fee within 30 days of the mailing date of the second notice, a penalty of 10 percent plus interest at the rate of one percent per month on the outstanding balance shall be added to the fee indicated on the notice from the date that notice of payment due was sent under Section 108.

If the Department does not receive payment within 30 days following mailing of the second notice, the Department may report all accounts receivable over $300 to the Bureau of Delinquent Revenue Collection in accordance with San Francisco Administrative Code, Chapter 10, Article V. Accounts receivable under $300 shall be administered in accordance with Administrative Code Section 10.41-1.
