ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: May 15, 2014 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 3 <br />SUBJECT: Proposed Satellite Tax Office in Chapel Hill <br />DEPARTMENT: Tax Administration PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Memorandum <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Dwane Brinson, Tax Administrator, <br />919- 245 -2726 <br />1 <br />PURPOSE: To review and provide comments on a proposal to co- locate Orange County <br />property tax assessment services as a satellite office at Chapel Hill Town Hall. <br />BACKGROUND: The Orange County Tax Office has a single location in Hillsborough, NC in the <br />County's Gateway Center above Weaver Street Market. The Town of Chapel Hill, at its Town <br />Hall, currently serves as an additional property tax collection point for residents. However, no <br />property tax assessment services are provided at the Chapel Hill location, a demand that has <br />grown over the years. The attached memorandum discusses a proposed co- location <br />agreement at Town Hall between Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with reviewing the proposal. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board review the proposal and <br />provide direction to staff regarding potentially moving forward with establishing the co- location <br />for property tax assessment services at Chapel Hill Town Hall. <br />
