Thompson <br /> Nancy P.Mountcastle <br /> Kate W.Cotten <br /> December 28, 2012 <br /> Mr. Barry Jacobs <br /> Chair, Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> 2105 Moorefields Road <br /> Hillsborough,NC 27278 <br /> Delivered via USPS <br /> Re: Statement of No Excise Tag Due <br /> Mr. Jacobs, <br /> On December 11, 2012, in Book RB5502, Page 595, Orange County Registry, a deed was <br /> recorded from Centex Homes to Elisandro Martinez, conveying real property located solely in <br /> Alamance County. This instrument was recorded in the wrong county, Orange County. <br /> No excise tax was owed through the Orange County Register of Deeds because the instrument <br /> being recorded was recorded in the wrong county. I am requesting reimbursement of the <br /> $352.00 in revenue stamps paid in Orange County since the deed should not have been recorded <br /> in Orange County. This deed has subsequently been recorded in the correct county, Alamance <br /> County, in Book 3171, Page 597, Alamance County Registry, and the correct excise tax paid <br /> there. Please see the attached Statement of No Excise Tax Due, which has been recorded in Book <br /> R135516,Page 305, Orange County Registry. <br /> In addition, I am requesting reimbursement of the $90.00 in recording charges paid to record the <br /> above deed and accompanying deed of trust (which was recorded in Book RB5503, Page 1, <br /> Orange County Registry), as the payment check was made payable to "Alamance County <br /> Register Of Deeds," and was improperly deposited by the Orange County Register of Deeds. I <br /> have attached a copy of the check in question. <br /> I appreciate your attention to this matter. Please contact me if there are any questions or concerns <br /> with my request at 919-787-8812 or kate @moorealphin.com. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Moore & Alphin,PLLC <br /> Kate W. Cotten <br /> CC: Deborah Brooks, Register of Deeds <br />
