Lordstown Motors Corp. has made good on a late property tax payment in the first half of 2020.

According to the Trumbull County Auditor's office, the startup electric pickup truck manufacturer on Friday paid $570,959 in taxes on four pieces of property it owns. LMC also paid a 10% late penalty amounting to $57,095. The payment had been due on March 3.

The company's spokesperson tells 21 News it was an administrative mistake.

"This was an unfortunate administrative error and we are in the process of paying all property taxes, fees, and any assessed penalties that are due," Ryan Hallett said, spokesperson for Lordstown Motors.

The company's second-half payment is due on August 6.

News of the late payment added to LMC's woes which include a class-action civil lawsuit filed by investors who allege the company fraudulently inflated the value of the company stock.

Meanwhile, LMC CEO Steve Burns has said he is cooperating with an SEC investigation into claims made about pre-orders of the Endurance.

LMC's Endurance pickup truck was unable to complete a 280-mile long desert race last month after the vehicle's batteries were depleted after only 40 miles.
