DRAFT Attachment 4 <br />ITEMS OF INTEREST <br />1 <br />Forestry Notification <br />Property owners currently do not receive any notification <br />of impending forestry activities planned for adjoining <br />properties. Orange County believes the State should at a <br />minimum implement a courtesy notification process for <br />adjoining property owners. <br />Machinery Act <br />North Carolina property tax law substantially limits the <br />ability of local governments to address property tax <br />discrepancies, such as prohibiting the refund of prior <br />years' taxes paid after a measurement and/or condition <br />property appraisal error is discovered.

As court fees and jail housing <br />fees are reduced, Orange County believes counties should be <br />authorized to raise Court Facility Fees to help fund <br />
