Please note that this letter was postmarked to us on <br /> February 16,2022. I apologize for not submitting our exemption by the deadline, and I would like to <br /> formally request an appeal of the decision denying tax exemption for this property. <br /> As you are aware,this property was previously exempt under N.C. Gen. Stat. §105.278.3 as property for <br /> Religious Use. The transfer by Non-Warranty Deed was recorded on September 15, 2021, Book 6745, <br /> Page 710-712,transferring the property from Luis R. Zarama,Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of <br /> Raleigh,to Mary,Mother of the Church Catholic Parish of Chapel Hill, a North Carolina non-profit <br /> corporation(see attached deed). It is also important to note that this new entity has a sole member,that <br /> being Luis R. Zarama,Bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Raleigh.The property remains in use as <br /> a church,and therefore should continue to be exempt pursuant to the above-cited statute. <br /> Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. <br /> Sincerely yours, <br /> Acle G, /ot.&Pla, /// <br /> Frank L.
