PURPOSE: To receive the tax collector's annual settlement on current and delinquent taxes
and approve the accounting thereof,
BACKGROUND: The tax collector is required by North Carolina 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,
The overall tax collection percentage for the County is 98,89, 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 reports in the annual settlement provide in detail the collections for the County, all fire and
special districts, and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough during fiscal year
2004-2005,
NCGS 105-373 also 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 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, Included in the printed material is the first page of each of
these reports. The tax collector has provided three computer disks to the Clerk to the Board
containing a complete accounting of each of these three reports.
There are also two settlement reports, The first settlement report shows all taxes charged far
collection for 2004-2005 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 2004-2005 fiscal year,
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with accepting the tax collector's
settlement,
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the tax collector's settlement be
accepted as reported and entered upon the minutes,

TAX COLLECTOR'S ANNUAL SETTLEMENT

TAX COLLECTOR'S REPORT
OF MINIMAL PROPERTY TAX BILLS
Fiscal Year 2004-2005
North Carolina General Statute 105-321(f) is a provision authorizing the governing
board of a taxing unit that collects its own 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 do-lars ($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 5695, The
total amount of taxes waived is $ 12,249.45,
The total number of real estate and personal property notices less than five dollars
{$5.00) is 243. The total amount of taxes waived is $ 940.59.
