	500.6(1) Payment shall be made payable to the Iowa Department of Transportation by cash, check, credit card, or any other means offered by the department. Payment shall be due 30 calendar days from the invoice date. However, renewal invoices shall be due 30 calendar days from the invoice date or by the last day of the registration expiration month, whichever is later.
	500.6(2) Invoices not paid by the due date shall be assessed a late payment penalty as provided in Iowa Code sections 326.14 and 326.16. The same penalty amount will be assessed the first of each month thereafter until the total invoice and all penalties are paid in full.
	500.6(3) A delinquency notice shall be sent on invoices 30 calendar days overdue. The department shall send a delinquency notice stating the IRP registration shall be suspended unless payment is received within 30 calendar days from the date of the delinquency notice. If payment is not received in a timely manner, a notice of suspension shall be sent to the registrant. When a registrant is under suspension, all of the registrant’s Iowa-based IRP vehicles shall be suspended.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections 326.10A, 326.14 and 326.16.
