Box 459 • Hillsborough, NC 27278 • (919) 732-6767, FAX: (919) 732-2337 • ochabitatC~?aol.com <br />December 2, 1999 <br />John Smith <br />Orange County Tax Assessor <br />200 S. Cameron St. <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Mr. Smith, <br />This is a request for Orange County to accept a late Application for Tax Exemption for 1999. The <br />property in question is 223 Richmond Road, Efland, NC (tract #352483). <br />This property was owned by a Habitat for Humanity homeowner until we foreclosed and reacquired the <br />property in March 1998. We held the property until August 1999 when we sold the property to another <br />qualified Habitat homeowner. During that period of Habitat ownership we were renting the property to <br />future homeowners while their houses were being built and while we were attemtping to locate and <br />match up a new homeowner. <br />Because the circumstance of a property passing from taxed to tax exempt status is quite unusual in our <br />operation (we are used to the opposite situation), the requirement to file for tax exemption was <br />overlooked. We were alerted to this need when the tax bill for this property arrived. <br />We trust this request will be met with fair consideration and apologize for waiting until the last moment <br />to pursue the matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />John Cotterman <br />Office Manager <br />
