PURPOSE: To consider adoption of a refund resolution related to ten (10) requests for
property tax refund.
BACKGROUND: The Tax Administration Office has received ten (10) requests from a taxpayer
for refund of property taxes paid in prior fiscal years. North Carolina General Statute 105-
381(b), "Action of Governing Body" provides that "upon receiving a taxpayer's written statement
of defense and request for release or refund, the governing body of the Taxing Unit shall within
90 days af#er receipt of such a request det�rmine whether the taxpayer has a valid defense to •
the tax imposed or any part thereof and shall either release or refund that portion of the amount
that is determined to be in excess of the correct liability or notify the taxpayer in writing that no
release or refund will be made". North Carolina law allows the Board to approve property tax
refunds for the current and four previous fiscal years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of this change will result in a net reduction in revenue of
$8,208.25 to the County, municipalities, and special districts. The Tax Assessor recognized
that refunds could impact the budget and accounted for these in the annual budget projections.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the attached
resolution approving these property tax refund requests in accordance with N.C. General
Statute 105-381.
