Town Council for Jalan Kayu (Penalties and Administrative Fee for Late Payment) By-laws 2025

The owner or tenant of any residential property or commercial property must pay the Town Council a monthly penalty of the appropriate amount set out in the Schedule if there are arrears in respect of the residential property or commercial property of any charge payable by the owner or tenant (as the case may be) to the Town Council.

A penalty determined in accordance with paragraph (1) is due and payable on the day following the expiry of the month in which the charge is due and payable and accumulates monthly until payment is made by the owner or tenant, as the case may be.

If any owner or tenant of any residential property or commercial property is in arrears consecutively for a period of 6 months or more (called the arrears period) for the payment of charges to the Town Council, the owner or tenant (as the case may be) must pay the Town Council, in addition to the penalty imposed under by‑law 3, a one‑time administrative fee of $50 in respect of the amount of charges in arrears during the arrears period (called the outstanding amount).

The administrative fee mentioned in paragraph (1) is due and payable on the date specified by the Town Council.

To avoid doubt, if the outstanding amount continues to be in arrears after the arrears period, no further administrative fee may be imposed under paragraph (1) in respect of that outstanding amount.
