PURPOSE: To receive the tax collector's annual settlement on current and delinquent taxes
and approve the accounting thereof.
BACKGROUND: The reports in the annual settlement provide in detail what has been collected
far the county, all fire and special districts, and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and
Hillsborough during the fiscal year 2005-2006..
The overall tax collection percentage for the county is 98.97%. 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 nine
consecutive years,
The tax collector is required by NC General 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
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 far 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. Included in the printed material is the first page of each of these reports. Also
provided are three diskettes containing a complete accounting of each list..
There are two settlement reports. The first settlement report shows all taxes charged for
collection for 2005-2006 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 within the 2005-2006 fiscal year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the tax collector's settlement be
accepted as reported and entered upon the minutes..

TAX COLLECTOR'S REPORT
OF MINIMAL PROPERTY TAX BILLS
Fiscal Year 2005-2006
North Carolina General Statute 105-321(f) is a provision authorizing the governing board
of a taxing unit that collects its awn taxes to adopt a resolution foregoing the collection of
bills that do not exceed a specified amount, up to five dollars ($5.00). The Orange
County Board of Commissioners has adopted, by resolution effective July 26, 1995, a
policy change to permit the County Assessor and Tax Collector to waive the billing and
collection of tax notices that do not exceed five dollars ($5.00), and that the tax collector
keep record of such and report the total amount as part of annual settlement.
The total number of motor vehicle notices less than five dollars ($5.00) is 5766. The
total amount of taxes waived is $ 12,259..99..
The total number of real estate and personal property notices less than five dollars
($5.00) is 1616,. The total amount of taxes waived is $ 1,038,08..
