If the county tax is not paid in full, the county treasurer may petition the superior court in the county in which the town is located, to attach the town's pecuniary assets in the amount owed to the county. II. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph I of this section, the interest payment penalty provided in said paragraph shall not apply in Hillsborough county if payment of the tax bill is made within 30 days of its receipt by the taxpayer.
