How long do I have to file the Measure 49 Form that accompanied the Measure 49 Notice?
This is an important question. According to Measure 49, you have 90 days from the date the Measure 49 Notice is put in the mail to you. Ordinarily you would have 90 days from the date you received the Measure 49 Notice. Many people are going to be tripped up by this subtle change in the law. Why? Suppose the Department mails your notice on December 6th, and you do not receive the notice until December 13th. Under most laws, the due date for the Measure 49 Form would be 90 days from December 13th, or March 12th, 2008. However, under Measure 49, because the Measure 49 Notice was mailed on December 6th, 2007, you have to file the Measure 49 Form (and any additional information required by the Department) by March 5th, 2008.
