ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: April 9, 2013
Action Agenda
Item No. 5-d
SUBJECT: Applications for Property Tax Exemption/Exclusion
DEPARTMENT: Tax Administration PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
Exempt Status Resolution Dwane Brinson, Tax Administrator,
Spreadsheet ( 919) 245-2726
Requests for Exemption/Exclusion
PURPOSE: To consider two (2) untimely applications for exemption/exclusion from ad valorem
taxation for two (2) bills for the 2012 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 two 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 may be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. NCGS 105-
282.1(a)(5) permits approvals of such applications if good cause is demonstrated by the
taxpayer.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The reduction in the County's tax base associated with approval of the
exemption applications will result in a reduction of FY 2012/2013 taxes due to the County,
municipalities, and special districts in the amount of $552.39.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the attached
resolution for the above listed applications for FY 2012/2013 exemption.
