Crayton, 245-2735 Spreadsheet Requests for Exemption/Exclusion PURPOSE: To consider nine (9) untimely applications for exemption/exclusion from ad valorem taxation for the 2011 tax year. BACKGROUND: North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS) require applications for exemption to be filed during the normal listing period, which is during the month of January. Exclusion for Elderly/Disabled, Circuit Breaker and Disabled American Veterans should be filed by June 1St of the tax year being applied. NCGS 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. The nine applicants are applying for homestead exclusion based on NCGS 105-277.1, which allows exclusion of the greater of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) or fifty percent (50%) of the appraised value of the residence. Based on the information supplied in the applications and the above referenced General Statutes, the applicants can be approved for 2011. The opinion of the Tax Administrator is the information provided to date satisfies the good cause requirement of NCGS 105-282.1(a)(5) and these properties should be approved for exclusion. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The reduction in the County's tax base associated with approval of these exemption applications will result in a reduction of FY 2011/2012 taxes due to the County, municipalities, and special districts in the amount of $9,646.01. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board approve the attached resolution for the above listed applications for FY 2011/2012 exemption. {~E~- fora- ooh NORTH CAROLINA ORANGE COUNTY EXEMPTION/EXCLUSION RESOLUTION Whereas, North Carolina General Statutes 105-282.1 empowers the Board of County Commissioners to approve applications for exemption after the close of the listing period, and Whereas, good cause has been shown as evidenced by the information packet provided, and Whereas, the Tax Administrator has determined that the applicants could have beenapproved for 2011 had applications been timely.
