ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT
Meeting Date: October 17, 2006
Action Agenda
Item No.
SUBJECT: Motor Vehicle Property Tax Release/Refunds
DEPARTMENT: Revenue/Tax Collector PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) No
ATTACHMENT(S):
Resolution
Release/Refund Data Spreadsheet
INFORMATION CONTACT:
Jo Roberson, Revenue Director,
919-245-2727
PURPOSE: To consider adoption of a refund resolution related to 46 requests for motor vehicle
property tax releases or refunds.
BACKGROUND: GS 105-381(a)(1) allows a taxpayer to assert a valid defense to the
enforcement of the collection of a tax assessed upon his/her property under three sets of
circumstances:
(a) "a tax imposed through clerical error", for example when there is an actual error in
mathematical calculation;
(b) "an illegal tax", such as when the vehicle should have been billed in another county, an
incorrect name was used, or an incorrect rate code (the wrong combination of applicable
county, municipal, fire district, etc. tax rates) was used;
(c) "a tax levied for an illegal purpose", which would involve charging a tax which was later
deemed to be impermissible under state law.
GS 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".
For classified motor vehicles, GS 105-330.2(b) allows for a full or partial refund when a tax has
been paid and a pending appeal for valuation reduction due to excessive.mileage, vehicle
damage, etc. is decided in the owner's favor.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of these release/refund requests will result in a net reduction of
$4,231.70 to Orange County, the towns, and school and fire districts.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached
resolution approving 46 motor vehicle property tax release/refunds requested in accordance
with North Carolina General Statutes.
NORTH CAROLINA
ORANGE COUNTY
REFUND RESOLUTION (Approval)
Whereas, North Carolina General Statutes 105-381 and/or 330.2(B) allows for the refund of taxes
when the Board of County Commissioners determines that a taxpayer applying for the refund has a valid
defense to the tax imposed; and
Whereas, the properties listed in each of the attached "Request for Property Tax Refunds" has
been taxed; and
Whereas, as to each of the properties listed in the Request for Property Tax Refunds, the taxpayer
has timely applied in writing for a refund of the tax imposed and has presented a valid defense to the tax
imposed as indicated on the Request for Property Tax Refunds.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF ORANGE COUNTY THAT the recommended property tax refund(s) are
approved.
Upon motion duly made and seconded, the foregoing resolution was passed by the following
votes:
Ayes: Commissioners
Noes:
I, Donna Baker, Clerk to the Board of Commissioners for the County of Orange, North Carolina,
DO HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing has been carefully copied from the recorded minutes of the
Board of Commissioners for said County at a regular meeting of said Board held on
said record having been made in the Minute Book of the minutes of said Board,
and is a true copy of so much of said proceedings of said Board as relates in any way to the passage of the
resolution described in said proceedings.
WITNESS my hand and the corporate seal of said County, this day of
Clerk to the Board of Commissioners

Military Leave and Earning Statement: Is a copy of a serviceman's payroll stub
covering a particular pay period. This does list his home of record, which is his ~,.~
permanent state of residence where he would pay any state income taxes.
Vehicle Titles
Salvaged and Salvage Rebuilt: Any repairs that exceed 75% of the vehicle's market
value using NADA, Kelly Biue Book and various other publications.
When the insurance company has totaled the vehicle, and the customer has received the
claim check, four things can happen:
• Insurance company can keep the vehicle.
• Customer can keep the vehicle. The customer is instructed to contact the local
DMV inspector to have an initial inspection done, for vehicles 2001 to 2006
(these dates change yearly, example in 2007 the models will be 2002-2007).
• Affidavit of Rebuilder- The inspector lists each part that needs to be repaired.
• Final inspection- if all work is cleared and approved by the inspector then the
rebuilt status is then removed (salvaged status remains).
Note: Finance companies will not finance a salvaged vehicle.
Total Loss: Repairs were more than the market value of the vehicle and the insurance
company is unwilling to pay for the repairs.
Total Loss/Rebuilt: Whatever the repairs were to make the vehicle road worthy after a
Total Loss status has been given. Vehicle must be 5 years old or older. Vehicle status
then remains as salvaged or rebuilt.
Certificate of Reconstruction: When work has been done on (vehicles 2001-2006 in
year 2006) this is issued when the inspector didn't see the original damaged and the
vehicle has been repaired.
Certificate of Destruction: NC DMV will not register this type of vehicle. It is not fit
for North Carolina roads.
Custom Built: When the customer has built this vehicle himself or herself. Ex. parts
taken from various vehicles to build one vehicle. Three titles are required from the DMV
in this case. 1) Frame 2) Transmission 3) Engine.
Then an indemnity bond must be issued. An indemnity bond must also be issued when
the vehicle does not have a title at all.
