Questionable Rental Registration Letter
Hello All,
I got a letter yesterday from the City of Cleveland saying I owed $280 in rental registration fees for a property I bought in November. I paid the registration fees when I purchased the property and I though the registration was good for a year from the date of filing. The notice also said the payment was due March 1, but was postmarked February 26. It also said the registration fees had doubled. This seemed suspicious to me because March 1 is a Sunday and in all the previous letter I've received, there has been at least two weeks to pay the bill. I attached a copy of the letter. Is this legit? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin
