PURPOSE: To consider untimely applications for granting exempt status from
ad valorem taxation for the 1998 tax year.
BACKGROUND: General Statute 105-282.1(a)(5)
Action of Governing Body -Pleasant Green United Methodist Church filed an
application for property tax exemption on parcel number 5.23..6 in November 1998.
The United Church of Chapel Hill filed two applications for property tax exemption on
parcels 7.24..19A and 7.24..19E on July 6, 1998. Where N. C. General Statutes states
that applications for exemption must be filed during the normal listing period, which is
during the month of January, G.S. 105-282.1(a)(5) does allow some discretion. Upon a
showing of good cause by the applicant for failure to make a timely application, an
application for exemption or exclusion filed after the close of the listing period may be
approved by the Department of Revenue, the board of equalization and review, the board
of county commissioners, or the governing body of a municipality, as appropriate. An
untimely application for exemption or exclusion approved under this subdivision applies
only to property taxes levied by the county or municipality in the calendar year in which
the untimely application is filed.
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that all three (3) applications
for 1998 exemption be approved.

Dear Mr. Smith,

A Congregation of the United Church of Chrirt
As you may know the United Church of Chapel Hill is in the process of
building a church on Airport Road in Chapel Hill. We were granted a
zoning special-use permit by the Chapel Hill Town Aldermen for our site
plans this past autumn, and site preparations were begun. Our building
permit will be issued and our building construction activity initiated shortly.
The property that the church owns actually includes two parcels:
^ The first parcel is on the west side of Airport Road (7.24.. 19A,
9880-21-0778, Tract 756847). It includes about 13.64 acres, a
sizable portion of which is in the flood plain/flood fiinge area.
^ The second parcel is on the west side of Airport Road also (7.24..
19E, 9880-21-7648, Tract 756846). The entire parcel is subject to
a North Carolina. Department of Transportation road easement,
purchased for the widening of Airport Road, which is a state
highway.
211 west Cameron Ave. Due to circumstances beyond our control, our applications for property tax
Chapel Hill, Nc exemption for the parcels for 1998 under G.S. 105-278.3 were filed late.
2751-2702 Please arrange for our applications for 1998 properly tax exemption to be
given the consideration they deserve.
Minister, Jill Edens

Re: 5.23..6
Dear Mr. Smith;

In December of 1997 our church acquired the above referenced parcel consisting of 8.16 acres.
Because this property is part of ow church property, we are requesting exempt status under
General Statute 105-278.3 which allows exemption for "real and personal properly used for
religious purposes."
We failed to file the appropriate application during the month of January because we were
unaware of our responsibility to do so. My understanding is that applications for exempt status
that were not filed during the normal listing period may be submitted for consideration by the
Board of County Commissioners in accordance with General Statute 105-282.1(a)(5).
This letter constitutes our request for the enclosed application to be submitted under the
guidelines of these required statutes.
Thank you for your assistance. If we need to•~provide any additional information, please let us
know.
Yours sincerely,
st~G
Ron Overaker
Chairman, Board of Trustees
