The letter requests an explanation of good cause for the untimely application for <br />property tax exemption and exclusion for the 2013 tax year. <br />The client filed an extension of time to file the 2013 property tax listing by the January 315` <br />deadline and appropriately filed the property tax listing by the extended due date. However we <br />were unaware that an application for exemption or exclusion needed to be completed with the <br />property tax listing in order to qualify for exemption on the solar energy electric system. The <br />property listing form instructions did not mention the application and we were unable to find <br />any information regarding the proper filing requirements for solar energy systems on the North <br />Carolina Department of Revenue property tax information website. In addition, we even <br />inquired with our contacts with another county jurisdiction regarding the proper way to list the <br />solar energy electric system and our contact was unaware of the requirement for the <br />application. <br />Since we filed the application for exemption or exclusion as soon as it was discovered that it <br />was required, we respectfully request that the application for exemption be approved. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration to this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />. i <br />Heather L.
