Treasurer
Says Postmarks OK
TRI-STATE – In a recent policy change, Mohave County
Treasurer Lee Fabrizio says second-half property tax payments
sent through the mail and postmarked by May 1st (or earlier) will
be accepted.
“As technology changes, procedures change,” he said.
“We are establishing what we call a ‘lockbox’
system which will save taxpayer dollars through interest earnings.
One aspect of the ‘lockbox’ system is that we have
a short window at the end of the payment period. After all, the
second tax payment is due March 1 and taxpayers are given until
5pm May 1 to make that payment.”
Recently, Fabrizio said his office would consider any payment
received after May 1 to have missed the deadline even if the payment
was mailed with a May 1 postmark.
“We went over the state statutes before that release and
have gone over them again since,” he said. “We have
received a lot of calls on this. I was mistaken to have made that
change immediately as part of our new system. We shall accept
all tax payments postmarked by May 1 as being on-time.”
Fabrizio added that the Mohave County Attorney’s office
looked into the matter as well and found "that a mail-payment
grace period is covered by Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure."
For now, Fabrizio is asking property owners who have questions
about the status of their payment to call the Treasurer’s
Office at (928) 753-0737.

“Scoop”
of the Day
Broadway’s Tony nominations are out and the top nominee
is the musical, “In the Heights,” a portrait
of Latino life in Upper Manhattan. It got 13 today, more
than any other show. The new elaborate (and expensive) revival
of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “South Pacific”
took 12 nominations, followed by “Sunday in the Park
With George” with nine.
Three shows received seven nominations -- “August:
Osage County,” “Passing Strange” and the
revival of “Gypsy.” Hollywood actors Patrick
Stewart (“Macbeth”) and Laurence Fishburne ("Thurgood")
were nominated for Best Actor, but Kevin Kline (“Cyrano”)
and James Earl Jones (“Cat On A Hot Tin Roof”)
were snubbed. “Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein”
received only three nominations. The awards show will be
telecast on CBS on June 15. |
