Bush*s Aide (Rove) Pays His D.C. Taxes Late

President Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, yesterday paid his District property taxes four months late.

According to city records, the delinquent bill reached $4,518 — including $721.51 in penalties and interest — when Mr. Rove learned of it from press inquiries yesterday.

White House spokeswoman Claire Buchan said Mr. Rove's mortgage company was handling the tax bill and overlooked the delinquency.

"Mr. Rove paid his property taxes into escrow through his mortgage company," she said. "As soon as he became aware, he worked with the mortgage company to make sure the situation was resolved."

According to the city, the tax department mailed the original bill on Mr. Rove's Northwest home, assessed at $934,700, in February to Mr. Rove and his mortgage company, Wells Fargo.
