PURPOSE: To consider approving value changes made in property values after the 2008
Board of Equalization and Review has adjourned.
BACKGROUND: North Carolina General Statute 105-325(a) provides in part that "After the
board of equalization and review has finished its work and the changes it affected or ordered
have been entered on the abstracts and tax records as required by G.S. 105-323, the board of
county commissioners shall have the authority to make changes on the abstract and tax
records." This section further enumerates the circumstances under which a board of
commissioners can make valuation changes.
The Orange County Board of Equalization and Review adjourned on June 11, 2008. Since that
time, staff has identified the need to change values as indicated on the attached spreadsheet in
accordance with the statutory provisions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of these changes will decrease assessed value by $338,669
for 2008. This will result in a net decrease in revenue of $4,840.09 to the County,
municipalities, and special districts. For fiscal year 2008/2009, the total net reduction in
revenues is $4,840.09.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the resolution
approving the attached value changes.
