SECTION 96.3. Document Delivery

A transition property notice filing may be presented for filing at the filing office as follows:

(1) A filing may be delivered in person at the street address of the filing office during business hours. The file time for a transition property notice delivered by this method is when delivery of the transition property notice document is accepted by the filing office (even though the transition property notice document may not yet have been accepted for filing and may be subsequently rejected).

(2) A filing may be delivered by delivery service at the street address of the filing office. The file time for a transition property notice delivered by delivery service is 5:00 PM CT on a day the filing office is open to the public (even though the transition property notice document may not yet have been accepted for filing and may be subsequently rejected).

(3) A filing may be delivered by postal service delivery to the filing office's street or mailing address. The file time for a transition property notice document delivered by this method is 5:00 PM CT on a day the filing office is open to the public (even though the transition property notice document may not yet have been accepted for filing and may be subsequently rejected).

(4) A filing may be delivered by facsimile transmission to the filing office's fax filing telephone number. The file time for a transition property notice document delivered by this method is when delivery of the transition property notice is accepted by the filing office (even though the transition property notice document may not yet have been accepted for filing and may be subsequently rejected, and may indicate that the transition property notice document was received at an earlier time). Filings delivered by facsimile transmission must be accompanied by payment of the filing fees by credit card.
