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 1s` 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. Six 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. Two applicants are applying for Circuit Breaker exclusion based on NCGS 105-277.1B which allows for tax relief based on income. The Circuit Breaker exclusion is a tax deferral program. One of the applicants is applying for exclusion based on NCGS 105-277.1 C, which allows for an exclusion of $45,000 for an honorably discharged Disabled American Veteran. One of the applicants is applying for exclusion based on NCGS 105-287.2 which allows for changing the appraised value of real property in years in which general reappraisal is not made. Including these ten applications, the Board will have considered a total of thirty untimely applications for exemption of 2018 taxes since the 2018 Board of Equalization and Review 2 adjourned on June 14, 2018. Taxpayers may submit an untimely application for exemption of 2018 taxes to the Board of Commissioners through December 31, 2018. 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(a1) permits approval of such applications 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 2018/2019 taxes due to the County, municipalities, and special districts in the amount of $13,129.53. 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 2018/2019 exemption. 3 NORTH CAROLINA RES-2018-069 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 2018 had applications been timely.
