Section 735:80-13-23 - Computation of time

When filing documents in an administrative proceeding related to a protest, the following provisions apply:

(1)General provisions. In computing any period of time, begin on the day after the act, event, or default and conclude on the last day of the computed period, unless it be a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday nor legal holiday.

(2)Filing; evidence of filing. Documents required to be filed are considered filed on the date of personal service of such documents or upon the date of the postmark showing date mailed on the envelope containing such documents and must show a date on or before the last day of filing as defined hereinabove.

(3)Use of certified or registered mail. If the document is sent by United States registered mail, the date of registration of the document shall be treated as the postmarked date. If the document is sent by United States certified mail and the sender's receipt is postmarked by the postal employee, the date of the United States postmark on such receipt shall be treated as the postmark date of the document. Thus, the risk that the document will not be postmarked on the day that it is deposited in the mail may be overcome by the use of registered mail or certified mail.
