<br />GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
<br />SESSION 2011
<br />SESSION LAW 2011 -88
<br />SENATE BILL 201
<br />AN ACT TO ESTABLISH THE COMMON BOUNDARY BETWEEN ALAMANCE
<br />COUNTY AND ORANGE COUNTY SUBSEQUENT TO THE 2010/2011 RESURVEYS
<br />OF THE TRANSITIONED PROPERTIES, AS AUTHORIZED BY THE NORTH
<br />CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY BY SESSION LAW 2010 -61 ENABLING THE
<br />CHANGES IN THE HISTORIC ORANGE COUNTY /ALAMANCE COUNTY
<br />BOUNDARY LINE AS DESCRIBED IN THE 1849 SURVEY ESTABLISHING
<br />ALAMANCE COUNTY, AND TO AMEND SOME SECTIONS OF SESSION LAW
<br />2010 -61.
<br />The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
<br />SECTION 1. The historic boundary line forming Alamance County from Orange
<br />County was described and surveyed in 1849. In the subsequent 160 years, this line became
<br />uncertain, resulting in unintentional modifications to the boundary line affecting taxation,
<br />school attendance, zoning maps, and elections within and among Alamance County, Orange
<br />County, and the Town of Mebane, North Carolina. Pursuant to G.S. 153A -18, entitled
<br />"Uncertain or Disputed Boundary," both county commissions passed resolutions (Alamance
<br />County, December 17, 2007, and Orange County, January 18, 2008) to request that North
<br />Carolina Geodetic Survey (NCGS) perform a preliminary resurvey and present a proposed map
<br />for consideration by both counties.
<br />SECTION 2. The Alamance County Board of Commissioners agreed by vote on
<br />April 21, 2008, and Orange County on May 20, 2008, to approve authorizing NCGS to conduct
<br />the preliminary survey and the placing of monuments by NCGS consistent with their research
<br />to form a boundary baseline. On July 8, 2010, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted
<br />S.L. 2010 -61, which enabled Alamance County and Orange County to transition properties
<br />between the two counties for the purpose of recommending to the North Carolina General
<br />Assembly a mutually agreed upon boundary line between the two counties.
<br />SECTION 3. Section 3 of S.L. 2010 -61 reads as rewritten:
<br />"SECTION 3. In the 160 years since the initial survey of the Alamance County /Orange
<br />County boundary line, Alamance and Orange Counties have entered into multiple taxing
<br />agreements that have resulted in properties being taxed in one county by the adjoining county.
<br />Other situations have arisen in which children of one county attend school in the adjoining
<br />county and voters in one county have voted in the adjoining county. The General Assembly
<br />recognizes the difficulties in addressing these issues and authorizes Alamance County and
<br />Orange County to maintain the current taxing, elections, education, and any other recognized
<br />government functions in place until July 1, 2011. 2012."
<br />SECTION 4. Section 4 of S.L. 2010 -61 reads as rewritten:
<br />"SECTION 4.(a) On and aft rly1, 2011, all papers, dae ts, and instruments
<br />a be file registered that involve id t t,, 1.,.,4ed
