(b) If the annual license fee is not paid before it becomes delinquent a delinquent penalty fee shall be added to the amount thereof per year.(c) If the annual license fee and penalty are not paid before the fifteenth day of March in the year in which they become due, the landscape architect’s license shall be deemed expired.
