ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: December 6, 2010 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ~=~ <br />SUBJECT: Motor Vehicle Property Tax Release/Refunds <br />DEPARTMENT: Tax Administration PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Resolution <br />Release/Refund Data Spreadsheet <br />Reason for Adjustment Summary <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Jo Roberson, Tax Administrator <br />919-245-2727 <br />PURPOSE: To consider adoption of a refund resolution related to 35 requests for motor <br />vehicle property tax releases or refunds. <br />BACKGROUND: North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 105-381(a)(1) allows a taxpayer to <br />assert a valid defense to the enforcement of the collection of a tax assessed upon his/her <br />property under three sets of circumstances: <br />(a) "a tax imposed through clerical error", for example when there is an actual error in <br />mathematical calculation; <br />(b) "an illegal tax", such as when the vehicle should have been billed in another county, an <br />incorrect name was used, or an incorrect rate code (the wrong combination of applicable <br />county, municipal, fire district, etc. tax rates) was used; <br />(c) "a tax levied for an illegal purpose", which would involve charging a tax which was later <br />deemed to be impermissible under state law. <br />NCGS 105-381(b), "Action of Governing Body" provides that "Upon receiving a taxpayer's <br />written statement of defense and request for release or refund, the governing body of the taxing <br />unit shall within 90 days after receipt of such a request determine whether the taxpayer has a <br />valid defense to the tax imposed or any part thereof and shall either release or refund that <br />portion of the amount that is determined to be in excess of the correct liability or notify the <br />taxpayer in writing that no release or refund will be made". <br />For classified motor vehicles, NCGS 105-330.2(b) allows for a full or partial refund when a tax <br />has been paid and a pending appeal for valuation reduction due to excessive mileage, vehicle <br />damage, etc. is decided in the owner's favor. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Approval of these release/refund requests will result in a net reduction of <br />$3,825.04 to Orange County, the towns, and school and fire districts. Financial impact year to <br />date for FY 2010-2011 is $6,861.58. <br />
