Waiver request submitted by Lisa Chafford, Bastrop City Marshall, regarding a $2,500 late fee, a $2,500 late fee, and $2,500 late fee assessed for filing her 2009 Tier 2 annual pfd 315 days late, her 2010 Tier 2 annual pfd 315 days late, and her 2011 Tier 2 annual pfd 48 days late. |

Ms. Chafford did not understand the filing requirements. Her salary as city marshall is the only salary she receives. As a single mother, the $7,500 late fee would create a hardship and burden on her and her family.
