PURPOSE: To report the amount of unpaid taxes for the current year that are liens on real
property as required by North Carolina General Statute 105-369 and to request March 12, 2003
as the date set by the Board for the tax lien advertisement.
BACKGROUND: North Carolina General Statute 105-369 requires the Tax Collector to report
to the governing board the total amount of unpaid taxes for the current year that are liens on
real property. The 2002 report is available in the Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners
office. Upon receipt of this report, the governing board must order and set a date for the lien
advertisement. Tax liens may be advertised any time between March 1 and June 30.
There are three purposes of the tax lien advertisement. The first purpose is to call attention to
delinquent taxpayers by publishing their names in the newspaper. Many taxpayers pay their
taxes before the advertising date so that their names will not appear on the advertisement. The
second purpose is another means by which to ensure that new owners are aware of tax liens
existing against their property. The third purpose is the most important. The tax lien
advertisement is an integral step in the in-rem foreclosure procedure.
North Carolina General Statute 105-369 (d) allows the Tax Collector to determine the actual
cost of the advertisement and to set a per parcel rate to allow the County to recoup the cost of
advertisement. The cost for advertisement was changed to $3.75 per parcel ad for the
advertisement of 2001 properties completed in March of 2002. This was the first time in 10
years there had been an increase to the citizens of Orange County. It has been determined
that the County's cost of advertisement will not substantially increase for this year and therefore
it is the recommendation of the Tax Collector that the same amount of $3.75 be charged for the
2002 advertisement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There will be no financial impact to the County. Under North Carolina
General Statute 105-369 (d), each parcel of real property advertised pursuant to this statute
shall be assessed an advertising fee to cover the actual cost of the advertisement.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board accept the report and set
the lien sale advertisement date for March 12, 2003.
