BOX 8181 <br />HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 <br />TELEPRONE (9M2"100. FAX 6"3091 <br />April 12, 2010 <br />Guerry W O'Briant <br />16155 Efland Cedar Grove Rd <br />Efland, NC 27243 <br />RE: Tract #364257 Refund ,Request <br />Dear Mr. O'Briant: <br />This letter is in reference to your correspondence received April 2, 2010 requesting a refund <br />of taxes paid for the 2009 and prior tax years. <br />North Carolina General Statute 105 -381 allows for the refund of taxes under very limited <br />circumstances. Since receiving your refund request we have tried to find a way to legally <br />honor your request. We keep ending up at the same conclusion that this situation falls <br />under a category that statutorily is not refundable. Instead, the proper step is to make the <br />correction for the current tax year and future years_ In accord with these conclusions, I am <br />enclosing a copy of your 2010 property record card to assist you in determining that you <br />are properly taxed now. Please review the property record card and let me laiow if there <br />are any further changes or questions. If it would be helpful, I will be glad to have an <br />appraiser meet with you at your home to go over everything and make certain everything is <br />correct. <br />We always endeavor to find a way to make refunds. Sometimes we are not successU, <br />Refunds have to be approved by the Board of County Commissioners, If the commissioners <br />were to make a refund not authorized by the statutes those commissioners individually <br />become personally liable for those improperly refunded fiords. Due to this liability we are <br />always careful and diligent in determining the legality of each refund request. <br />
