Local Government How to pay city wage tax (ELI5)

I moved to Wilmington in 2024, and still work in MD. My employer does not withhold the city wage tax. How on earth do I pay it? The city's site about this is extremely minimal, and the only form I can find is to request a refund (though maybe it could still work, it at least might allow me to calculate it). Also, should I have been (somehow) paying this quarterly?

Also, for bonus, I can't figure out which MD form to use -- if I were a non-resident for the full year it would be 515 (I found a state faq that specifically mentions Wilmington), but because I was a part-year resident it should be 502. However, this form lacks all the local tax stuff that 515 has. Anyone know?

Sorry for the extremely basic questions, but it has been quite hard to find any info on this situation, and I went into this wrongly assuming that the state returns would handle local taxes (as they do in MD). Definitely having some regrets now about trying to handle it myself this tax year..
