PURPOSE: To consider adoption of a resolution to release property values related to nineteen
(19) requests for property tax release and/or refund.
BACKGROUND: The Tax Administration Office has received nineteen (19) 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 after receipt of such a request determine 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
$127,277.13 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 North Carolina
General Statute 105-381.
