the N. C. property
owner trying to digest the
"Mate’s complex new tax law
there’s a very simple, baste
message: you’re going to have
• to piy the tax you’re assess
t ed and pay it on time. Either
: that or be faced with a whop
| ping interest charge.
{’ It is part of a major effort
• designed to help govern
; mental units that relv upon
• the property tax realise the
• maximum benefit from that
■ source of income.
**v - mrti Him niWlaiTi ** -•
i The state’s new tax law.
; adopted by the General Assem
* bly along the lines recommend
' ed by a study commission after
; two years of work, represents
the most significant charges at
: one time ever made by N. C.
It’s a complex statute—the
. commission’s report and ex
■ planation is an inch and a
> } half thick — that focuses
■ sharply on tile delinquent
• taxpaver. The guy who ha
bitually pays promptly needs
concern himself only with
, » data changes, something hell
; have to watch until he be
- comes accustomed to them.
Otherwise he’ll be subjected
1 ; -to-'Tfw, higher interest charges.
Property owners who are de
linquent in tax payments for
\ one year, as an example now
l must pay 10 1/4 per cent inter
im est plus the principal. That’s
> 4 1/4 per cent more than the 6
f per cent rate previously charg
i ed.
I But yon don’t have to wait
J a year for the new tax law to
i apply; it's currently in effect
J said there are immediate eon
In summarv, property taxes
are due earlier this year and
will be every year hereafter,
penalties are higher for late
payment all across the board,
and will be instituted sooner.
There , are also no excep
tions. The tax bill is uniform
statewide; there are no spe
cial bills for individual coun
ties.
'i ' Property taxes hereafter are
f due and payable on September
1 1 of the year in which they are
r listed. Previously they were not
*' due until the first Monday of
- October of the year in which
3 listed.
r The January month of grace
i is now gone. Penalties for late
* payment now go into effect on
* January 1, instead of February
5 1 as in the past. They’re also
l higher; a two per cent penalty
will be charged the first month
I twice as much as had been
: charged.
■ An additional three-quarters
. of a per cent will be added
* every month thereafter, 50
l per cent more than the old
; additional monthly charge.
The new timetable poses an
: immediate problem for the
'Transylvania County tax office,
■already working against this
year’s revaluation. Tax bills tra
ditionally have been mailed to
Transylvania property owners
in October. The office is now
behind schedule, but it won’t
change the fact that bills are
doe and payable September 1.
Tenon Follbright, tax col
| lector, said tax hills for this
- Discounts for early payment
'will be allowed this year, but
Ibey may not in the future. The
^discount rate for 1971 has not
Jbeen changed- You can still de
duct \Vz per cent if your 1971
jjill is paid during July 1, per
Tent if paid during August or
September, and Vt per cent if
paid during October.
? In the Mure, however,
'discounts wiM he np to the
wfth the tighter money mar
ket. Most large taxpayers are
holding onto the monev nntil
the doe date, some of them
until just before penalties are
assessed.
Next year properties must be
advertised and sold before June
30. It’ll $e up to the coir'ty
comtnissioncrs, but Fullbi iiiftt
ovTV'*^tc* tn be
run in May witn me raie iu
come on the first Monday in
.Tune, 1972. That means to avoid
being listed as delinouer.t on
properly taxes, rax oais musi oe
paid before May 1.
Summer residents, then, will
