Dwane Brinson <br /> Gateway Center,228 S Churton St, 2nd Floor <br /> PO Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> 919-245-2725,option 2 <br /> i <br /> Dear Mr. Brinson, <br /> I am writing to request reimbursement for prior years overpaid property taxes.We live at 2602 Hooper <br /> Ct in Hillsborough and recently had our house appraised.The appraiser told us that the county had our <br /> square footage listed at 3416 sf when the appraisal only came up with 2643 sf. At that time I called your <br /> office and it was reassessed by Steve Hennsely who came up with 2736 sf,which is a 680 sf difference <br /> from the 3416 sf that your team was previously billing us for. For 2012 alone,this represents an <br /> estimated$500 in overpaid taxes.We've been in this house since 1998 and would expect to receive <br /> reimbursement for each year,going back to 1998, which adds up to a significant overpayment('"$7,000 <br /> based on the 2012 results alone). <br /> I looked back at our 2012 tax bill (bill#0000226016-2012-2012-0000)and square footage is not <br /> indicated on the property tax bills.Your team may want to enhance your bills to include square footage <br /> so that a homeowner could catch this type of error going forward. <br /> Please advise how long it will take to receive this reimbursement as well as a full accounting of how you <br /> derived at the reimbursement amount including all prior year calculations and payments made. <br /> i <br /> Thanks for your assistance with this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Frieda Rosemond <br /> i <br />
