If any distributor, retail dealer, or storer in gasoline or motor fuel fails to make monthly reports or fails to pay the tax imposed under this part, the tax shall be deemed delinquent. A penalty in the amount of 10 percent of the tax liability shall be added to the amount due, along with interest calculated according to the rate(s) established under Section 40-1-44. If the commission determines that a good and sufficient cause exists for the delinquency, the penalty may be waived by the commission. If any person is delinquent in the payment of the tax imposed pursuant to this part, the commission shall issue execution for the collection of the tax, directed to any sheriff of the state. The sheriff shall then proceed to collect the tax in the manner now provided by law for the collection of delinquent taxes by the county revenue commissioner and shall make a return of the execution to the commission. The tax imposed pursuant to this part and any penalties provided herein shall be held as a debt payable to the county by the person against whom the tax has been imposed or against whom the penalties shall have accrued. All taxes and penalties shall be a lien upon the property in the county and elsewhere in this state of the person against whom the tax has been imposed and the penalties have accrued.
