Findings and Recommendations 8 findings

F1
Based on the postmark, in the opinion of the Tax Collector, the taxes paid by the Complainant were late. The Tax Collector can only determine when taxes were paid and mailed based on the official US Postal Service stamp. The Tax Collector has limited discretion to make exceptions to this when there are clear, extenuating circumstances, e.g. an automobile accident on the way to the post office, etc.
No recommendations for this finding
F2
Based on late payment of parcel stubs, taxes were assessed accurately and appropriately—a 10% late fee for each parcel in addition to the $10 charger per parcel. This is the customary procedure based on tax codes for late property taxes.
