RE:
Waiver request submitted by Aaron Jordan, a member of the Lake Bullard Improvement District (Orleans Parish), regarding a $150 late fee assessed for filing his 2012 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 3 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Jordan states he did not timely file because he works out of town and doesn't come home every weekend. He did not receive the Notice in a timely manner. He also states that the address on the envelope was to the wrong zip code. The zip code had no bearing on the notice's receipt as the time delays do not begin to run until the notice is received, not mailed.

Mr. Jordan provided documentation from his company's human resources office that states he works out of town.
