Oleson pays late fee for Linn County resident
The Board discussed the waiver of $51 interest and penalty for Nicholas Garland...
This was a unique case with an individual and his mother that came to the office late filing their taxes stating that they did not receive their tax bill. Based on the principal of the matter, they talked to Oleson about waiving the interest and penalty. He felt they had a solid case...
After talking with Gary Jarvis, the Board is not allowed to have the fee waived under statute. After the representations he made to Garland and his mother, he stated that he will pay the fee after the meeting.
Later, during public comment:
Stacey Law, Deputy Auditor, stated that the bill was originally sent to 900 2nd Street SE, Unit 306 and it was returned by the post office...
Miller stated that their process is not to question the post office. They aren’t going to send it again and again to the same address. They think the post office knows what they are doing.
