Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Mr, Brinson, <br />It came to my attention this spring, after reviewing my homeowners insurance with our carrier, <br />that the county has charged my husband and I taxes on a 3700+ square foot home since 2009. <br />Our home is in fact 3054 square feet. I contacted the tax office and discovered that the county <br />was counting our walk -up attic as finished living space, which it is not. We have lived in our <br />home for twenty -four years and no one from the tax office has been inside our home since we <br />finished building it in 1989. That being said, I am unable to understand how, during the last <br />reassessment, the tax office decided we had that additional living space. <br />I understand that North Carolina state law does not support my request for a refund of <br />overpayment of our property tax, but I am compelled, by principle, to do so regardless. <br />Please consider my request going forward. <br />Regards, <br />Allison W. Chambers <br />
