State as not-for-profit corporations shall pay to the

Department an annual fee of $50 plus an additional $1 per unit,

but shall not exceed an annual fee of $1,000 for any community

association. The Department may establish forms and promulgate

any rules for the effective collection of such fees under this

pay in full to the Department all fees owed under this

subsection (c) shall be subject to the penalties and procedures
