Orange County Tax Supervisor Sam Gattis announced yesterday that his office would mall hut 1955 tax bills to county taxpayers beginning on October 1. In this connection he issued an explanatory statement to tax pay* ers of Chapel Hill township, some of whose property is now subject to at ^least three different tax rates levied by Orange County^ He explained the system of bill ing on such property and advised the citizens affected to pay all tax bills they receive in drdejF to pay their accounts fully. Said Gattis: r “PrpMrty in Chipe* Hill Towntafll may naw /p xuhjt.** to or an of thtffedrffertflt tA rates levied by Orange County, 521 for County tax, 77C for prop erty within the Special School Dis trict and 87c for property within the Speical Fire District. “Due t0 the limited capacity of our billing equipment it has be come necessary to divide all tax bills so that any one tax bill will cover property subject to a single rate either 62, 77 or 87 cents con sequently, property subject to any cne tax rate, through it may be the maximuih 871, will be covered with only one tax bill. However, if one lists property some of which is subject to 62c rate white the balance is subject to the 77c or perhaps the 87c rate he will re ceive two or .even three, bills. Iq that event, one bill covers all property subject to the 62c rate, one covers all property subject to the 77c rate'and the other if there is one covers property subject to the 87c rate. “In order to pay ytyir account fully it is necessary to pgy all bills." .
