§ 2.10. Charge for Unpaid Bank Checks Given in Payment of Obligations Due City.

Whenever any person shall give or cause to be given to the City, or any department or agency thereof, a check drawn on a bank in purported payment of any obligation due the City, which check is dishonored or unpaid by reason of the drawer having no account or having insufficient funds therein or having stopped payment on the check, there shall be added to the obligation due the City an amount, not to exceed the sum allowable under Florida Statutes to cover the additional cost to the City thereby entailed. Such sum shall be collected in the same manner as any other indebtedness due the City and any receipt theretofore given in reliance upon such check shall be null and void and no other receipt shall be given for the payment of the original indebtedness until such charge has also been paid.
