Waiver request submitted by William Keith Dennis, Madisonville Town Council (Pop. 850) / St. Tammany Parish, regarding a $500 late fee assessed for filing his amended 2021 Tier 3 annual pfd 34 days late. |

William Keith Dennis states that he has had issues with the postal service delivering his mail to a different address in the past. The amendment notice was returned to BOE and later sent to Mr. Dennis's vacation address in Georgia, where a worker signed the green card and placed it in his mailbox. Mr. Dennis has lived at his Louisiana address for the past ten years, and the mailbox in Georgia is only checked during vacation times, typically April through October. Upon arriving in Georgia in April 2023, he discovered the notice and immediately filed the disclosure. Mr. Dennis would like to request a waiver of the late fee assessed.
