Waiver request submitted by Luther Traylor, former member of the St. Tammany Parish Development District, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2017 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 42 days late. |
|
Mr. Traylor states that he was on the board for 5 years as a volunteer and resigned from the board effective 7/31/2017. He was unaware that he needed to file a final PFD in May, 2018. He received his NOD at the beginning of December, 2018 and at that time thought his term ended in 2016. He spoke with our staff on 12/20/2018 and was instructed to have a board verify his term. Mr. Traylor states that he was busy with the holidays and visiting family in Florida in January and did not complete his PFD until he returned from Florida. He also states that he is retired and does not have the money to pay the late fee.
