Revised Code of Washington - RCW Title 15 Agriculture And Marketing - Section 15.88.160 Assessment constitutes debt -- Penalty for nonpayment -- Civil action

§ 15.88.160. Assessment constitutes debt -- Penalty for nonpayment -- Civil action

A due and payable assessment levied in such specified amount as determined by the commission under RCW 15.88.130 constitutes a personal debt of every person so assessed or who otherwise owes the assessment, and the assessment is due and payable to the commission when payment is called for by the commission. If a person fails to pay the commission the full amount of the assessment by the date due, the commission may add to the unpaid assessment an amount not exceeding ten percent of the assessment to defray the cost of enforcing its collection. If the person fails to pay any such due and payable assessment or other such sum, the commission may bring a civil action for collection against the person or persons in a court of competent jurisdiction. The action shall be tried and judgment rendered as in any other cause of action for a debt due and payable.
