Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />NOV 2 5 20Q4 <br />~COT~XOfFf~E <br />Attn: Judy Ryan <br />Re: Application for Homestead Exemption -Tax Year 2009 - Appea! <br />Property ID Number: 9787-05-2207.028 <br />Dear Ms. Ryan: <br />Pursuant to your conversation with my son earlier this month, during which you agreed to give <br />me until November 30, 2009 to submit my application for 2009 tax year homestead exemption, <br />I have enclosed my completed Application for Property Tax Relief, together with copies of the <br />settlement statements for my real estate transactions in 2008. <br />I have indicated on my application that I did not file a tax return for 2008. I did not file a return <br />for 2008 because my income did not meet the minimum threshold for filing. My income <br />sources are social security benefits and interest payments. <br />In May and June of 2008, I sold my property at 703 Copperline Drive, Unit #301, Chapel Hill, and <br />used the proceeds from that sale to purchase a unit in the same building so that I could be on <br />the ground floor. I merely swapped my personal residence and all monies were transferred to <br />the new unit. The sales proceeds are not income and did not trigger a taxable event according <br />to the IRS and NC DOR. In fact, no 1099's were filed for the swap. <br />I respectfully request that the Board of E&R grant the exemption for 2009 based on the above. <br />Thank you for your consideration in this matter. <br />~~~~o <br />Anna M. Darden <br />
