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. Three of the applicants are applying for homestead exclusion based on NCGS 105-277.1, which allows exclusion of the greater of$25,000 or 50% of the appraised value of the residence. One of the applicants is applying for two exemptions based on NCGS 105-273.(3a) and 105- 277.02, which is the Builder Property Tax Exemption. This exemption came into effect for taxes imposed for taxable years beginning on or after July 1, 2016. Qualified builders must apply annually, and certain real property that is held for sale may be classified for taxation at reduced valuation. One of the applicants is applying for exemption based on NCGS 105-278.2 which allows for exemption of real property set apart for burial purposes unless it is owned and held for purposes of sale or rental. 2 Including these six applications, the Board will have considered a total of twenty-one (21) untimely applications for exemption of 2017 taxes since the 2017 Board of Equalization and Review adjourned on June 29, 2017. Taxpayers may submit an untimely application for exemption of 2017 taxes to the Board of Commissioners through December 31, 2017. Based on the information supplied in the applications and based on the above-referenced General Statutes, the applications may be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. NCGS 105-282.1(al) permits approval of such application if good cause is demonstrated by the taxpayer. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The reduction in the County's tax base associated with approval of the exemption application will result in a reduction of FY 2017/2018 taxes due to the County, municipalities, and special districts in the amount of$ 22,957.59. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached resolution for the above-listed applications for FY 2017/2018 exemption. 3 NORTH CAROLINA RES-2017-061 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 2017 had applications been timely.
