| Reconsideration of the Board's denial of a waiver request submitted by Wallace J. Landry III, Lakeview Crime Prevention District, regarding a $1,500 late fee assessed for filing his 2013 Tier 2.1 Annual PFD 141 days late. |
|
Mr. Landry is requesting reconsideration and an appearance to address the Board regarding his confusion over the NOD and his filing of a report with 2013 listed as the calendar year even though filed in 2013 and counted as his 2012.
Initial Information:
Mr. Landry states that in June 2013 he filed his disclosure statement covering 2013. It should be noted that you cannot file a pfd covering calendar year 2013 in 2013; therefore, any pfd filed in 2013 would be processed as the 2012 pfd.
Mr. Landry stated when he received the Notice of Delinquency (on February 2, 2015) asking for a disclosure statement covering 2013, he thought the notice was issued in error and he did not respond. A review of our database indicates that the disclosure statement filed in June 2013 was processed as a disclosure statement covering calendar year 2012 - as that was the report that was due at that time.
