I submitted my PRE application by email on April 15, 2021, but unfortunately, I overlooked the City’s response on June 25, 2021, notifying me that there was an error on the form that needed to be corrected. I sincerely apologize for this oversight. It was an honest mistake, and I had no intention of providing incorrect information or avoiding any tax obligations. I have consistently paid my property taxes on time through my escrow account, and I have always made a good-faith effort to meet my responsibilities as a homeowner. I respectfully ask that these circumstances be taken into consideration. I regret the error and the failure to respond to the City’s notice in a timely manner, and I would appreciate the opportunity to correct the mistake and resolve this matter. Thank you for your time, understanding, and consideration. Doug Fulton 10/14/26
