BOY 8181 DL•PUIY ASSESSOR <br />HILLSBOROUGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27278 <br />rELEPtIONE (919) 732-8181, Ext. 2100 , FAx 6J4-3U91 <br />March 28, 2006 <br />N. Denise Brooks <br />1108 Lora Ann Drive <br />Cedar Grove, NC 27231-9287 <br />RL: Tract # 25438.3 Refund Request <br />Dear Ms.. Brooks: <br />This letter is in reference to your correspondence received March 21, 2006 requesting a <br />refund of taxes and is your notification of the 2006 valuation after review. <br />North Carolina General Statute 105-381 allows for the refimd of taxes under very limited <br />circumstances. Since receiving your refund request we have tried to find a way to legally <br />honor your request.. We keep ending up at the same conclusion that this situation falls <br />under a category that statutorily is not refundable. Instead, the proper step is to make the <br />correction for the current tax year and firture years. In accord with these conclusions, I am <br />enclosing a copy of your corrected 2006 property record card to assist you in determining <br />that you are properly taxed now. Please review the property record card and let me know if <br />there are any filrther changes or questions. If it would be heipfiil I will be glad to have an <br />appraiser meet with you at your home to go over everything and make certain everything is <br />correct. <br />We always endeavor to find a way to make refunds. Sometimes we are not successful. <br />Refunds have to be approved by the Board of County Commissioners. If the <br />commissioners were to make a refund not authorized by the statutes those commissioners <br />individually become personally liable for those improperly refunded funds. Due to this <br />liability we are always careful and diligent in determining the legality of each refimd <br />request. <br />
