Land use revalidation late fee waived
This year, the revalidation late fee will be waived, through Nov. 1. The late fee is normally assessed if a revalidation was not completed by Sept. 1 on properties under the use value assessment (land use) program.
The Board of Supervisors passed an ordinance providing relief from the revalidation late fee, for 2021 only, due to widespread delays in mail delivery. The Board of Supervisors is authorized by state law to waive this specific fee, but not other late fees related to taxation.
