Tax Payment Appeal Board Meeting 03/15/2023 – Appellant Claims Late Tax Payment Was Lost In The Mail

The Tax Payment Appeal Board is meeting 03/15/2023 at 6:30PM.

They will be taking up tax appeals for two properties; however, those properties appear to be owned by the same person who is making the same defense for both properties. It looked like the taxes were paid late and the property owner states this was because the payments were lost in the mail.

[It’s a little hard to see how the payment getting lost in the mail would be a legitimate defense to get anything overturned. The documents aren’t clear as to what exactly is being appealed. My guess is they want the roughly $30 in interest knocked off their bill. Personally, I’d just chalk this up to a lesson learned and move on, making a point to, in the future, (a) go in person to pay my bills  and (b) not put important tax checks in the mail a mere 3 days before they are due.]
