Box 8181 <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Re: Pickard Meadow Farm LLC <br /> 2013 Application for Property Tax Exemption or Exclusion <br /> Dear Ms. Wright: <br /> On behalf of the above referenced taxpayer, we are writing in response to a letter dated August <br /> 30, 2013. 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 31" <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 /> CYM4U?Mh1r <br /> Heather L.
