First District Republican candidate Brian Davis has paid his property taxes late every year for the last five years.
Davis's Rochester home was assessed $1,400 in penalties, fees and interest charges for late payments. On average he made each payment three and a half months late.
Davis says the late payments were an oversight.
"It's something that has come in the mail, and between my wife and I it's taken a while to pay it," said Davis. "It's not been a problem of us having the funds to pay it. It's just been a problem of us paying it late. I don't know how many times we've paid them late."
Davis has made late payments on all but one of his property taxes since 2003. Davis says he has a good credit history.
A spokesman for DFL Rep. Tim Walz, whom Davis is running against, called Davis a millionaire doctor who doesn't play by the rules.
