PURPOSE: To consider adoption of a resolution to release property values related to one (1)
request for property tax release.
BACKGROUND: The Assessor's Office is requesting approval to release property values
related to one (1) request for property tax release. (see explanations on attached spreadsheet).
General Statute 105-381(b), "Action of Governing Body" provides that "upon receiving a
taxpayer's written statement of defense and request far 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 ar
notify the taxpayer in writing that no release or refund will be made". North Carolina law allows
the Board to approve property tax releases for the current and four previous fiscal years.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of this change will result in a net reduction in revenue of
$2,965.86 to the County, municipalities, and special districts.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached
resolution approving one (1) property tax release request in accordance with N.C. General
Statute 105-381.
