RE:
Waiver request submitted by Brandan Duhon, with the White Lake Property Advisory Board, regarding a $50 late fee assessed for filing his 2016 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 1 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Duhon stated that he thought he had filed a PFD in May 2017; however, he cannot be certain that he did. Mr. Duhon explained that the email account where he saved all of his communications related to the White Lake Property Board was an account associated with his former employment and, therefore, he no longer had access to those documents and reminders.

Mr. Duhon stated once he was made aware of the delinquency he filed the PFD, although it was filed one day late. Mr. Duhon request that the late fee be waived.
