(1) Interest on past due payments of real property taxes shall accrue at
the rate of one percent per annum; (2) Interest on past due payments of
all other County taxes shall accrue at the rate of five percent per

on the date after the tax is due, and such interest shall continue to
accrue until the date on which payment is made.
B. Any tax payment that is delinquent and past due prior to July 1,
1999, shall accrue interest until paid. The interest to be charged on any
such delinquent tax payment shall be at the rate specified by the Fairfax

on any such delinquent tax payment shall accrue at that specified rate
beginning from the date on which the tax was due and extending until the
date on which the tax was paid or June 30, 1999, whichever is sooner. In
addition, on July 1, 1999, any tax payment that was delinquent and past
due prior to that date shall accrue interest beginning on and after July
