A $25.00 or 10% penalty (whichever is greater) will be charged for any check returned due to insufficient funds, (NCGS 105-357(b)(2)), plus any additional interest and penalty, plus any criminal penalties provided by law. Tax receipts are null and void if payment is made with a check that fails to clear the bank. Payment for a returned check should be made by cash, money order or certified funds. Legal process to collect funds includes issuance of a warrant for criminal offense. Contact us for more information.
