Passed 11- 1 -10.) 128.2303 AUTHORITY TO MAKE AND ENFORCE REGULATIONS. The Administrator is hereby charged with the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter, and is hereby empowered, subject to the approval of the Board of Review, to adopt and promulgate and to enforce rules and regulations relating to any matter or thing pertaining to the collection of taxes and the administration and enforcement of the provisions of this chapter, including provisions for the re- examination and correction of returns. Taxpayers are hereby required to comply with the requirements of this chapter and the rules and regulations. (Ord. 71 -10. Passed 11- 1 -10.) 128.2304 AUTHORITY TO ARRANGE INSTALLMENT PAYMENTS. The Administrator is authorized to arrange for the payment of unpaid taxes, in- terest and penalties on a schedule of installment payments, when the taxpayer has proved to the Administrator that, due to certain hardship conditions, he is unable to pay the full amount of the tax due. Such authorization shall not be granted until proper returns are filed by the taxpayer for all amounts owed by him under this chapter. Failure to make any deferred payment when due shall cause the total unpaid amount, including penalty and interest, to be- come payable on demand and the provisions of Sections 1 28.1 505 and 1 28. 1 701shall apply.

Such determina- tion may be modified or amended based upon information or data subsequently secured by or made available to the Administrator. If the taxpayer fails to respond to the assessment within 30 days, the tax, penalties, and interest assessed shall become due and payable and collectible as are other unpaid taxes, penalty, and interest.
