Upon acceptance of the reports, the Board will issue the Orders to Collect for fiscal year 2007-2008. BACKGROUND: The reports in the annual settlement provide in detail information on collections for the County, all fire and special districts, and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough during the fiscal year 2006-2007. The overall tax collection percentage is 99.03%. The overall collection percentage has three components: real property, personal property, and motor vehicles and is reflective of all jurisdictions charged to the collector. The largest and most important component is real property. The collection staff has concentrated on increasing real property tax collections and continues to consistently collect over 99% on the real property levy for the last ten consecutive years. The tax collector is required by statute 105-373 to give an annual settlement to the governing body. It is the intent of the Machinery Act to create a direct relationship of responsibility and accountability between the tax collector and the governing body. The governing body charges the tax collector and no one else with the personal responsibility for collecting taxes. The annual statement of the tax collector is based upon this responsibility. NCGS 105-373 requires the tax collector to furnish a sworn report to the governing body showing a list of property owners whose taxes remain unpaid for the preceding fiscal year. There are three reports: one for real property owners, one for personal property owners, and one for motor vehicle owners. Upon receiving these lists, the governing body enters into the minutes the names of those persons who owe personal property and motor vehicle taxes, declares the taxes to be insolvent, and by resolution designates the list entered into the minutes as the insolvent list to be credited to the tax collector on the settlement report. The decision of 2 the governing body to determine a tax to be insolvent and allow it as a credit in the collector's settlement has no effect on the taxpayer's liability for the tax. The board's determination of insolvency is not a release. The tax claim is not discharged or written off. The reason for making the determination is solely to facilitate making annual settlement with the tax collector. It relieves the tax collector for personal liability. Insolvent accounts are recharged to the collector as delinquent accounts, and the collector has full authority to use levy and garnishment to effect their collection. An electronic CD has been provided to the Clerk to the Board for the permanent record of all outstanding tax by category. There are two settlement reports for tax. The first settlement report shows all taxes charged for collection for 2006-2007 fiscal year. The tax collector is credited with all sums representing taxes collected and deposited, the principle amount of unpaid taxes on real property, and the principal amount of unpaid taxes on personal property determined to be insolvent. All uncollected taxes allowed as credits in a settlement are recharged to the tax collector. The second settlement report shows all prior years' taxes collected, during the 2006-2007 fiscal year. There is also a third report is for all other miscellaneous revenue charged to the Tax Collector for collection during fiscal year 2006-2007. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None RECOMMENDATION(S): The Tax Collector submits for the Board of County Commissioners approval and acceptance as reported for entry into the minutes. 3 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TAX COLLECTOR'S ANNUAL SETTLEMENT FOR THE CURRENT YEAR 2006 AND PRIOR YEARS BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Orange County that the following documents attached hereto are received and approved, consisting of the following: (1) Tax Collector's Report of 2006 Unpaid Taxes on Real Property (2) Tax Collector's Report of 2006 Unpaid Taxes on Personal Property (Insolvent List) (3) Tax Collector's Report of 2006 Unpaid Taxes on Motor Vehicles (4) Tax Collector's Report of Minimal Property Tax Bills (5) Report of Collections of Non-Tax Revenue and Miscellaneous Taxes (6) Settlement of 2006 Tax Accounts (7) Settlement of Prior Years (1997-2005) Tax Accounts ADOPTED this the 21St day of August, 2007.
