Within 10 days after certifying or determining that a taxpayer is delinquent, the municipal tax collector or, in the case of the unorganized territory, the State Tax Assessor shall notify the taxpayer that reimbursement under this chapter for the application period beginning August 1st of that year may be suspended under this subsection unless the past due taxes are paid by the end of the application period for that year.

A taxpayer receiving a notice under this subsection has until the last day of the application period prescribed under section 6654 to pay the past due tax to the municipality or, in the case of the unorganized territory, to the State Tax Assessor to redeem any otherwise eligible reimbursement under this chapter. When the municipal tax collector certifies to the State Tax Assessor or, in the case of the unorganized territory, the State Tax Assessor determines that the past due tax has been paid, the State Tax Assessor shall release the reimbursement that has been suspended to the taxpayer in the same manner as for other claims under this chapter. If the taxpayer does not pay the past due tax by the end of the application period, the taxpayer's eligibility for the suspended reimbursement is terminated.’
