When do you add collectors interest and fees to a tax title?

The amount of collector’s interest and fees is added to a tax title when the Collector certifies the total due. The certification is the official step that authorizes and fixes the charges as part of the tax title, making them enforceable against the property. Delinquency itself starts interest accruing, but the formal addition to the title relies on the Collector’s certification. It isn’t tied to a specific time like the end of a fiscal year or to a court judgment; it occurs when the Collector verifies and certifies the amount owed, including these charges.
