Orders to Collect TELEPHONE NUMBERS:
Insolvent Reports (3) (provided to Clerk) Hillsborough 732-8181
Chapel Hill 968-4501
Durham 688-7331
Mebane 336-227-2031
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 for the County, all fire and special districts, and the Towns of Carrboro, Chapel Hill,
and Hillsborough during Fiscal Year 2002-2003.
The overall tax collection percentage for the county is 98.72. The overall collection percentage
has three components: real property, personal property, and motor vehicles. 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 seven 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.
NC General Statute 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
2
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 the necessary collection. Included with this abstract 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 list.
There are also two settlement reports. The first settlement report shows all taxes charged for
collection for Fiscal Year 2002-2003. 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 2002-2003 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 2002-2003
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 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 5987. The
total amount of taxes waived is $ 14,525.49.
The total number of real estate and personal property notices less than five dollars
($5.00) is 1529. The total amount of taxes waived is $1,006.56.
