RE:
Waiver request submitted by David Detz, with the Vernon Parish School Board, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2016 Tier 3 annual PFD 86 days late.
Facts:
Mr. Detz received the NOD on 5/3/18 and asserts that he uploaded his 2016 Annual PFD on 5/4/18. The Board's records indicate that Mr. Detz filed his 2017 Annual PFD and 2017 Candidate PFD on May 4, 2018, not his 2016 amendment. He states that he was unaware of any problems with his filing until August, 2018 when he learned that Schedule "B" had not properly uploaded.
