,aJ <br /> • <br /> 2 <br /> COUNTY of ORANGE <br /> CENTRAL LAND RECORDS OFFICE <br /> Roscoe E.Reeve Patricia B. Smith <br /> Manager Mapping Supervisor . <br /> April 6, 1989 <br /> Orange and Chatham County have agreed to establish a <br /> permanent boundary between the two counties. In this process <br /> both counties have reviewed a proposed boundary line and - <br /> have taken that proposed line to a public=heath-•-cxhich-Ttas <br /> held on March 29, 1989 . <br /> As a result of the hearing it was determined that properties, <br /> with residences, are located in Chatham County and have been <br /> paying Orange property taxes, and that residences In Orange <br /> County have been paying Chatham property taxes. In two cases, • <br /> Wolf's Pond and the Walter Atwater property, the proposed boundary <br /> was moved to reflect that each had always been perceived as being <br /> located in their respective taxing counties, but the line was <br /> found to put them in the other county. <br /> • <br /> It is proposed that where the new boundary has determined that <br /> a parcel that was perceived to be in Chatham County, but has been <br /> taxed.-in Orange County, and where a parcel was perceived to be in <br /> Orange County, but has been taxed in Chatham County, be treated <br /> " 'with the following mutually agreed to policy: <br /> If the deed to the boundary property was recorded in both <br /> Orange and Chatham counties, and the property has been <br /> taxed traditionally in the county which the residence does <br /> not reside in , by the adoption <br /> of the new permanent boundary, the Boards of Commissioners <br /> agree that the subject property will continue to be taxed <br /> in the county it was traditionally paying property taxes <br /> to, unless the property owner petitions the Commissioners <br /> to change the status of their property to be taxed in their <br /> county of residence. <br /> This policy does not apply to Wolf's Pond area or the Walter <br /> Atwater properties because they were perceived to be in their - <br /> taxing counties, but were discovered to be in the other county , <br /> in terms of their residence. <br /> 208 South Cameron Street • Hillsborough.
