40q <br /> 2548 Booker Creek Rd. <br /> Chapel Hill, N.C. 27514 <br /> May 20, 1981 <br /> Ph: 967-8539 (Home) <br /> 541-3548 (Office) <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> 208 S. Cameron St. <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br /> Attn: Mr. Bill Laws <br /> re: Incorrect Property Valuation <br /> 7.41c.C.5. <br /> On March 31, 1981, I met with Mr. Bill Laws concerning the 1981 <br /> valuation on our house at 2548 Booker Creek Rd.,Chapel Hill. From the <br /> examination of the house dimensions (on the computer printout) it was <br /> determined that they were incorrect. As a result, the correct <br /> square footage for heated space was determined to be 2170 sq. ft. <br /> rather than the incorrect value of 2840 sq. ft. The result was that <br /> our valuation was reduced from $116,060 to $99,927. <br /> Since it is now clear that an error had been made in calculating the <br /> square footage and this resulted in previous taxes being higher than <br /> they should have been (by 15 to 20%), I am requesting that the excess <br /> in taxes which I paid for the year 1980 be returned to me. That a <br /> refund is appropriate and due can be justified,since an error was made <br /> and this error can be considered as arising from a clerical mistake. <br /> In the event that it is necessary for me to present this issue to the <br /> Board, I will do so. However, since the facts are obvious and in the <br /> records of the Tax Office, I feel that my attendence before the Board <br /> should not be required. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Michael A. Resnick <br /> -277 (r <br /> / / <br />
