| Beginning with fiscal year 2003-04, a town or a plantation in |
| the commission's jurisdiction that elects not to administer land |
| use controls at the local level but receives commission services, |
| including planning, permitting and ensuring compliance, must be |
| assessed a fee equal to .0l% of the most recent equalized state |
| valuation established by the State Tax Assessor for that town or |
| plantation. The State Tax Assessor shall issue a warrant to each |
| such town or plantation no later than March 1st of each year. |
| The warrant is payable on demand. Interest charges on unpaid |
fees begin on May 1st June 30th of each year and are compounded |
| monthly at the interest rate for unpaid property tax as |
| established by the State Tax Assessor for the unorganized |
| territory. For any assessment that remains unpaid as of |
| September 1st of the year in which it is due, state revenue |
| sharing to that town or plantation must be reduced by an amount |
| equal to any unpaid warrant amount |
| plus any accrued interest, |
