The $68,832.26 currently in real property liability older than 10 years remains a lien to the <br /> real property. <br /> North Carolina General Statute 105-378 (g) specifically speaks to the tax collector being barred from any <br /> type of enforced collection methods after a period of ten years. Additionally North Carolina General <br /> Statue 105-373 (g) & (h) speak to the relief of the charge of taxes owed from the collector for unsecured <br /> debt of personal property and of registered motor vehicles. Copies of both statutes have been attached <br /> for your review. <br /> Over the past 10 years these debts have been worked extensively in an endeavor to resolve their <br /> collection. Though the statutes do allow for relief earlier than 10 years, the recommendation is to <br /> continue to pursue collection until the 10 year deadline because of the active collections program in <br /> place. <br /> Therefore, as the Tax Administrator I submit to resolve issues from an accounting standpoint that <br /> authorization be given to release the debts older than 10 years for all unsecured debt. All real property <br /> debt will continue to be reflected in the tax management system. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> T.
