Section 1910.88  Use of Facsimile Machines

The Property Tax Appeal Board prohibits use of facsimile transmissions, except in limited circumstances as set forth in this Section.  In no event shall petitions, evidence, Board of Review Notes on Appeal, requests to intervene or rebuttal submissions be accepted by facsimile machine.  Use of facsimile transmission is only allowable in limited circumstances, such as emergency motion practice for continuances of a scheduled hearing or upon a specific request of an employee of the Property Tax Appeal Board.  Any petition or other document transmitted to the Property Tax Appeal Board by facsimile for a reason other than an emergency motion or upon Board request will not be accepted and, in the case of petitions, will be deemed to be non-filed.  The party submitting a document by facsimile transmission bears the risk that the transmission will not be successful.  The date imprinted on the document by the Property Tax Appeal Board's telefax machine shall have the same effect as the U.S. Postal Service's postmark, except documents received by the Property Tax Appeal Board by facsimile transmission after 4:45 p.m., in whole or in part, will be deemed received on the next business day.  The date imprinted on the transmission confirmation document by the sender's telefax machine may be presented as evidence of successful transmission.
