BACKGROUND: North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS) typically require applications for exemption to be filed during the listing period, which is usually during the month of January. Applications for Elderly/Disabled Exclusion, Circuit Breaker Tax Deferment and Disabled Veteran Exclusion should be filed by June 1st of the tax year for which the benefit is requested. NCGS 105-282.1(a1) 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 provision applies only to property taxes levied by the county or municipality in the calendar year in which the untimely application is filed. Including these thirty-five (35) applications, the Board will have considered a total of seventy-five (75) untimely applications for exemption of 2015 taxes since the 2015 Board of Equalization and Review adjourned on May 28th. Taxpayers may submit an untimely application for exemption of 2015 taxes to the Board of Commissioners through December 31, 2015. Six of the 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. One of the applicants is applying for exclusion based on NCGS 105-277.1C, which allows for an exclusion of$45,000 for an honorably discharged Disabled American Veteran. One applicant filed twenty-eight (28) applications for exemption from taxation based on NCGS 105-278.6 (a)(8), which allows an exemption from taxation for a nonprofit organization providing housing for individuals or families with low or moderate incomes. Based on the information supplied in the applications and based on the above-referenced General Statutes, the applications may be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. 2 NCGS 105-282.1(al) permits approval of such application if good cause is demonstrated by the taxpayer. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The reduction in the County's tax base associated with approval of the exemption application will result in a reduction of FY 2015/2016 taxes due to the County, municipalities, and special districts in the amount of$12,709.86. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the attached resolution for the above-listed applications for FY 2015/2016 exemption. 3 NORTH CAROLINA RES-2016-003 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 been approved for 2015 had applications been timely. NOW,THEREFORE,IT IS RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF ORANGE COUNTY THAT the properties applying for exemption for 2015 are so approved as exempt.

I sincerely apologize for the lateness of this application. When we obtained the entire parcel of land in 2011,we applied for and were granted an exemption from property taxes. We subsequently put in all the infrastructure and in 2014 subdivided the property into smaller lots for affordable housing construction. But it seems that we overlooked applying for tax exemptions on all of the newly-created individual lots and open spaces. This was an oversight on our part and we apologize. Please let me know if you have further questions,and thank you for your attention to this.
