. (a) Redemption penalties are the sum of the following:
(1) Beginning July 1st of the year of the declaration of tax
default, on the declared amount of defaulted taxes at the rate of 1
1/2 percent a month to the time of redemption. If the last day of any
month falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the additional
penalty of 1 1/2 percent shall attach after the close of business on
the next business day.
(2) Beginning July 1st of each subsequent year, on the unpaid
taxes for which the property would have been declared in default if
there had not been a previous declaration, 1 1/2 percent a month to
the time of redemption. If the last day of any month falls on
Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday, the additional penalty of 1 1/2
percent shall attach after 5 p.m. on the next business day. If the
board of supervisors, by adoption of an ordinance or resolution,
closes the county's offices for business prior to the time of
delinquency on the "next business day" or for that whole day, that
day shall be considered a legal holiday for purposes of this section.
(b) For purposes of an administrative hearing or any claim in a
bankruptcy proceeding pertaining to the property being redeemed, the
assessment of penalties determined pursuant to subdivision (a) with
respect to the redemption of that property constitutes the assessment
of interest.
