Compiler's notes. — This section conflicts with 73-13-33 NMSA 1978 as to delinquent dates and interest rates. The latter provided February 1 and August 1 as delinquent dates, after which interest of one-half percent per month is charged. See also 73-11-39 NMSA 1978, which conflicts with this section as to interest rates chargeable to delinquent assessments by providing for rate of one-half percent per month.
