Our legal name is the Waldorf Educational Association <br /> of North Carolina, Inc. We operate as Emerson Waldorf School. <br /> We have several different parcels which make up the school grounds. The main portion of the <br /> campus consisted of 2 parcels, PIN#9871645632 and PIN# 9871647391. One parcel was mostly <br /> surrounded by the other parcel. There is a driveway leading to a parking lot in the interior <br /> parcel. In 2017, the state wanted us to install a street sign on the driveway because they <br /> believed that it was a street to reach the interior parcel. After some discussion, it was decided <br /> that we should combine the two parcels and re-record the plat in order to eliminate the <br /> problem of our driveway being designated as a "street". <br /> The new combined parcel is PIN#9871646437. We did not know that combining the parcels <br /> would change their tax status. The property tax bill we received was.quite unexpected and we <br /> did not receive it until August of this year. We spoke with the Orange County Tax Office who <br /> said the new PIN number had triggered the tax assessment. <br /> I <br /> We are asking to have our property tax exemption reinstated. <br /> Attached are copies of our IRS 501(c)(3) letter, our bylaws and our charter. <br /> Thank you for your help with this matter. <br /> I <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Y <br /> ry Ka ros <br /> Director of Administration <br /> I <br /> 6211 New Jerich'o'Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27516 p. 919.967.1858 J. 919.967.2732 www:emersonwaldorf.:org, <br />
