Carteret County Taxes
ust Be Paid
M
The Board of Commissioners with approval of Local Government
Commission at Raleigh, is refinancing the indebtedness of the County.
No new debt is being created. The new Bonds or Notes are sole
ly to pay present existing debts and get them on a basis of payments so
they can be met in the future.
The refinancing will result in smaller requirements for debt service
for the next three years, than at present, and thus rduce the burden on
the taxpayers, and at the same time will fund into bonds all present
floating debts.
The tax levy for the corning year will be reduced. The present
total levy is $2.30 and is has not been sufficient to meet the needs. The
new levy will be considerably under $2.00 and will be ample to meet
all obligations PROVIDED IT IS COLLECTED.
The new fiscal year begins July 1, 1931. Under new laws, the
County is authorized to employ a special tax collector, and on that day
all unpaid taxes, will be put in his hands for collection.
In the meantime, during the month of June, there is an urgent
need to collect past due taxes, in order to meet current expenses.
Hence every taxpayer in the County, who owes taxes for the year
now ending, or for any previous year, is called upon to promptly settle
these taxes, so that the payments may appear in the collections before
June 30.
This is vitally important in connection with the refinancing, and
in order to be able to reduce the tax levy for the coming year.
Respectfully,
J. J. WHITEHURST,
Auditor, Carteret County
