Tax and Finance
| Bill: | HB1889
| | Sponsors: | Brubaker (R78); Hill (D20); Gibson (D69); Harrison (D57) | | Title: | WILDLIFE LAND PROPERTY TAX CHANGES | | Comments: | This bill extends the present-use value system to include property that is managed and maintained primarily to protect wildlife habitats. The property must be at least 10 acres and no more than 100 acres in any one county and be under a sound management plan certified by the N.C. Wildlife Commission. The property would be appraised at its present-use value as if it were agricultural land if the majority of the property is open space land. The property would be appraised at its present-use value as if it were forestland if the majority of the property is woodland. If the property lost its classification, the taxpayer would be required to pay 3 years of deferred taxes. This bill also allows LLCs, trusts and corporate owners to receive the tax benefit. The Association is opposed to this attack on the property tax base and is actively working with state and environmental representatives to let our objections be known. |
| Bill: | HB2112
| | Sponsors: | Allred (R64) | | Title: | HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION/$30K/REIMBURSEMENT | | Comments: | This bill would increase the income limit to qualify for the Homestead Exclusion from $25,000 to $30,000 effective July 1, 2009, and would repeal a change that is to take effect this year regarding how the income is determined. Effective July 1, 2008, people who wish to qualify for the Homestead Exclusion must take into account all their income. The bill seeks to change back to a system where the adjusted gross income from the federal tax return is used instead. |

| Bill: | HB2692
| | Sponsors: | Allred (R64) | | Title: | VEHICLE PROPERTY TAX COLLECTED BY COUNTIES |
| Bill: | SB91
| | Sponsors: | Jacumin (R44) | | Title: | ENDANGERED MANUFACTURING AND JOBS ACT | | Comments: | Identical House bill HB39. Bill grants property tax exemption; if provisions removed, bill is acceptable. |
| Bill: | SB1180
| | Sponsors: | Dalton (D46) | | Title: | NO MONETARY EXACTION FOR DEVELOPMENT | | Comments: | This bill clarifies that a local government may not impose a tax, fee or monetary contribution for developments that is not specifically authorized by law. This bill would essentially impact a county's ability to impose an adequate public facilities ordinance (APFO) if fees are invovled. |
| Bill: | SB1199
| | Sponsors: | Clodfelter (D37) | | Title: | ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MODIFICATIONS |
| Bill: | SB1309
| | Sponsors: | Clodfelter (D37) | | Title: | FAIRNESS IN PT VALUES/LIEN ON MOBILE HOME | | Comments: | This bill would require all counties to go to a four-year property revaluation system. A county could postpone its revaluation if its sales-assessment ratio was greater than .90. This bill also eliminates a county's ability to reassess a property when changes or improvements are made to the land that would cause the property's value to increase. |
| Bill: | SB1442
| | Sponsors: | Snow (D50) | | Title: | SENIOR CIRCUIT BREAKER TAX BENEFIT | | Comments: | This bill provides property tax breaks for the low income and the elderly. Income is based on deferral. |
| Bill: | SB1861
| | Sponsors: | Allran (R42) | | Title: | RAISE HOMESTEAD EXCLUSION TO $35K |
| Bill: | SB1876
| | Sponsors: | Clodfelter (D37) | | Title: | DEFERRED PROPERTY TAX PROGRAMS CHANGES | | Comments: | This bill, which passed the House on June 24 and was ratified by the Senate one day later, makes four substantive changes to the circuit breaker program that was passed last year. The changes are administrative or technical in nature and do not have any significant fiscal impact. The changes make the tax collector, and not the tax assessor, responsible for notifying qualifying owners of the cumulative amount of deferred taxes, including interest. It also converts the application process from a one-time application to an annual application because the annual income is needed to determine if a person qualifies for the circuit breaker and at which level. The N.C. Association of Assessing Officers had sought a delay in implementation of the program. Counties must begin accepting applications on Jan. 1, 2009. |
| Bill: | SB1878
| | Sponsors: | Clodfelter (D37) | | Title: | PROPERTY TAX MODIFICATIONS | | Comments: | The Senate objected to a House change to S1878 (Property Tax Modifications) that changes the trigger for causing a county to advance its scheduled revaluation. In the Senate version, once a county’s sales/assessment ratio dipped below .90, the county had to schedule a revaluation before Jan. 1 of the third year following notification that their sales/assess ratio was below .90. This change would likely force some counties to revalue property more often than the current eight-year schedule requires. An amendment from Rep. Bill Owens (Pasquotank) changed this trigger from .90 to .70. The House and Senate will appoint conferees to work out the differences between the two bills. Other portions of the bill have not been changed. The bill changes how low-income housing property is valued, allowing the property tax to be based upon the income generated by the property rather than the market value. According to a fiscal note prepared by the General Assembly's Fiscal Research Division, this could cost local governments as much as $21 million in lost property tax revenue annually. The Revenue Laws Study Committee will examine how income will be calculated for the homestead exemption. |
| Bill: | SB1951
| | Sponsors: | Hoyle (D43) | | Title: | REPEAL COUNTY LAND TRANSFER TAX | | Position: | Oppose
| | Priority: | High
| | Category: | Defense
| | Comments: | This bill was approved by the Senate on June 19. It repeals the 0.4 percent land transfer tax authority that was given to counties last year as part of the Medicaid deal in the state budget. The bill was referred to the House Committee on Rules, Calendar and Operations, where it has remained. Speaker of the House Joe Hackney (Chatham) is committed to preserving the option for counties. |

| | Comments: | The House budget included this provision, but the Senate budget did not include the additional lottery proceeds to balance out the distrubution to counties whose property tax rate is not above the statewide average. |
Intergovernmental Relations
| Bill: | HB878
| | Sponsors: | Stam (R37); Lewis (R53); Harrell, J. (D90); Blue (D33) | | Title: | EMINENT DOMAIN | | Comments: | This bill is an act to amend the constitution of North Carolina to prohibit condemnation of private property to be conveyed to other private owners for economic developments and to provide for the payments of just compensation with right to trial by jury in all condemnation cases. |

| | Sponsors: | Owens (D1) | | Title: | HONOR C. E. FOY | | Position: | Support
| | Comments: | Association staff is working with legislative leadership to have the resolution enacted in the House and Senate chambers on County Assembly Day, which will be held June 10 in Raleigh. We hope to fill the galleries of each chamber with county commissioners and officials to help celebrate this momentous occasion. More information on County Assembly Day and a registration form are available on the NCACC’s Web site at http://www.ncacc.org/countyassemblyday.html. |
| Bill: | HB2314
| | Sponsors: | Cole (D65) | | Title: | VOLUNTARY COUNTY PARTICIPATION/DOT.-AB | | Priority: | Medium
| | Category: | Defense
| | Comments: | This bill codifies and expands on items that were included in S1513, which passed into law during the 2007 long session and gave counties authority to participate in the financing of roads. It passed the House on July 2 without harmful language that would allow the State Board of Transportation to base funding decisions on whether a local government has elected to participate in financing the project. The House committee substitute stipulated that voluntary participation by a county or municipality cannot cause any disadvantage to another project elsewhere. |
| Bill: | HB2350
| | Sponsors: | McLawhorn (D9); Bell (D21); Warren, R. (D88); Spear (D2) | | Title: | STUDY LEO 25-YEAR RETIREMENT | | Comments: | The bill would allow law enforcement officers to retire with full benefits after 25 years of service, unlike other local government employees. The Association has traditionally been opposed to this enhanced benefit for law enforcement personnel. The bill was converted to a study. |
| Bill: | HB2363
| | Sponsors: | Ross (D38); Carney (D102); Allen, L. (D49); Harrison (D57) | | Title: | CONGESTION RELIEF/INTERMODAL TRANSPORT FUND |
| Bill: | HB2367
| | Sponsors: | Luebke (D30); Goforth (D115); Steen (R76); Dollar (R36) | | Title: | INVOLUNTARY ANNEXATION MORATORIUM | | Position: | Support
| | Priority: | Medium
| | Comments: | The bill implements a nine-month suspension on all involuntary annexations, including those in which cities have already taken steps to initiate the process. No action can take place on any annexations during the nine-month period from August 31, 2008, through May 31, 2009. The moratorium includes cities that have already started the annexation process through either a resolution of intent or consideration. The bill must still be considered by the Senate, which was not involved in the legislative study commission that originally recommended the moratorium. The NCACC Board of Directors supports a moratorium on new involuntary annexations and the formation of a study committee to further examine the issue of annexations and the impact on citizens and local governments. |
| Bill: | HB2758

| Bill: | SB1271
| | Sponsors: | Snow (D50) | | Title: | FIREFIGHTER/EMS PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS | | Position: | Oppose
| | Comments: | This bill remains in the House Local Government II committee, but its chances of movement this session remain slim. The bill passed the Senate largely along party lines in 2007. It first came up in the House Local Government II Committee on Wednesday, June 18, but failed to receive a favorable report. The bill would require counties to deduct union dues for certain personnel if requested. The bill originally targeted firefighters, EMS workers and police officers, but the scope of the bill was expanded in committee to include any employee organization with at least 2,000 members statewide, at least 500 of whom are law enforcement officers. The bill is part of a larger unionization effort being led by the State Employees Association of North Carolina. |
| Bill: | SB1507
| | Sponsors: | Boseman (D9) | | Title: | HOUSING CONDITIONS/INSPECTIONS | | Comments: | Numerous counties and cities have established minimum housing codes via local act, while other local governments with no such standard. The bill sets a standard, statewide minimum housing code that requires a landlord to ensure “fit and habitable” conditions and defines several conditions as “imminently dangerous” that require “immediate repair or remedy,” while requiring local governments to have probable cause before inspecting residential and non-residential structures. Local governments may perform periodic inspections and routine inspections for landlords who are habitual offenders. The bill, as amended, grandfathers existing local government ordinances and programs. S1507 was approved by the Senate Commerce Committee on May 17. |
| Bill: | SB2056
| | Sponsors: | McKissick (D20) | | Title: | COURT FEE EXEMPTION | | Position: | Support
| | Comments: | This bill passed the House on third reading 113-1 on Thursday and will be sent to Gov. Mike Easley. The bill repeals a special provision included in the 2007-09 budget passed last session that forces counties to pay various court fees up front. The provision went into effect July 1 and particularly affects child support services personnel, who sometimes in the interest of an abused child, for example, require a court action late in the night and do not have funds in hand. |
| Bill: | SB2064
| | Sponsors: | Hoyle (D43) | | Title: | OPEN GOVERNMENT ACT | | Position: | Oppose
| | Comments: | The bill would require local governments to pay "reasonable" attorneys' fees for the opposition if a local government is sued because it refused to grant a public records request and ordered to turn over the public records. It creates a Department of Justice "Open Government Unit" that would mediate public record and open government disputes. The bill was passed by the Senate on Monday, but it does not appear that it will be given a hearing in the House this session. |
| Bill: | SB2092
| | Sponsors: | Atwater (D18) | | Title: | REPEAL TELEPHONE REQUIREMENT | | Position: | Support
| | Comments: | The House adopted an amendment during budget debate to return this responsibility to the state. The Senate budget also repeals the provision adopted last July that makes counties responsible for this cost and directs the Administrative Office of the Courts to find the funds needed. This unfunded mandate would have cost counties $3.7 million in 2008-09 and a similar amount in succeeding years. |
Environment
| Bill: | HB1134
| | Sponsors: | Tolson (D23); Haire (D119); Justice (R16); Allen, L. (D49) | | Title: | CLEANUP OF ABANDONED MANUFACTURED HOMES | | Comments: | This bill provides counties the necessary resources to clean up abandoned manufactured homes by earmarking $1 million annually from the Solid Waste Management Trust Fund. Reimbursement grants cannot exceed $1,000 for each unit. Counties who are designated as a development tier one or two area pursuant to G.S. 143B 437.08 may recover up to 50 percent of the costs above $1,000. Before granting a supplement funding request, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources "shall consider the efficiency and effectiveness of the county program in making the supplemental grant." |
| Bill: | HB2138
| | Sponsors: | Gibson (D69) | | Title: | DISAPPROVE COASTAL STORMWATER RULE | | Position: | Support
| | Priority: | High
| | Category: | Defense
| | Comments: | The NCACC's Board of Directors on May 14 adopted policy recommended by the Environment Steering Committee that seeks disapproval of proposed changes to the Coastal Stormwater Rules that affect 20 coastal counties as well as a legislative study of the impacts the rules will have in preparation of the 2009 long session. Coastal county officials have argued that the new rules would eliminate low-density development and imposes regulations modeled for high-density urban areas on the 20 counties covered under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA), most of which are rural in nature. The Senate budget contains a special provision that would seemingly offer developers and builders alternative stormwater management criteria that appears to be less restrictive than what is contained in the changes to the Coastal Stormwater Rules. |
| Bill: | HB2499
| | Sponsors: | Gibson (D69); Allen, L. (D49); Tucker (D4) | | Title: | DROUGHT/WATER MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS | | Position: | Oppose unless amended
| | Category: | Defense
| | Comments: | The House Committee on Environment and Natural Resources agreed to a proposed committee substitute that allows local water shortage response plans to set increasingly stringent water conservation measures in response to increasingly severe water shortages, based on locally established triggers of shortage. Earlier versions of the drought bill would mandate specific water savings requirements based on the U.S. Drought Monitor map. Conforming local water shortage response plans would have to be submitted by July 1, 2009, and would require DENR approval. Under the drought bill draft under consideration by the House, DENR would also be authorized to require local water systems to step up their water conservation measures should their less stringent measures not produce adequate water savings. Local systems without plans would have to implement the default conservation measures currently required by state administrative rules, in the event of extreme or exceptional drought. Failure to implement the drought measures contained in the default or locally derived plan when triggered could result in monthly civil penalties of up to $10,000. The bill directs the Environmental Review Commission to study whether and to what extent private groundwater wells should be regulated by state or local governments as a part of its ongoing study of water resource allocation. The bill would also shift responsibilities underlying the gubernatorial declaration of a water shortage emergency from the EMC to the DENR secretary. Currently, the EMC initiates emergency investigation upon behest of the local government and then oversees the required action during the emergency. H2499 shifts the responsibility to the DENR secretary to consult with the affected local government and then provide written comments substantiating the emergency. Required action under the emergency declaration would also fall to the DENR secretary. H2499 would limit state or federal water infrastructure funds allocated by the General Assembly to those entities that have adequate water system efficiencies in place. EMC would be directed to adopt rules to promote acceptable uses of reclaimed water. |

| Bill: | HB2530
| | Sponsors: | Luebke (D30); Harrison (D57); Harrell, T. (D41); Thomas (R116) | | Title: | SOLID WASTE TAX CHANGES/UNSALABLE OTP REFUND | | Comments: | The conference report changed the schedule for counties to remit the tax to a quarterly basis and also allowed counties to receive a credit for bad debts in the event that an operator does not pay his account balance. It was estimated by Fiscal Research that the tax would raise approximately $24.5 million annually, with 37.5 percent of the revenues to be redistributed to local governments. Changing the remittance system to a quarterly basis will reduce overall revenues for 2008-09 by about $6.1 million because only three quarterly payments will be made during the fiscal year. The conference report also clarifies that local governments who do not operate solid waste programs are not eligible to receive any funds from the tax “unless it is served by a regional solid waste management authority established under Article 22 of Chapter 153A of the General Statutes.” |
| Bill: | SB845
| | Sponsors: | Albertson (D10) | | Title: | AMEND ENV. LAWS/ENV. TECH. CORRECTIONS 2008 | | Comments: | This environmental technical corrections bill adds a section requiring counties to test for the following chemicals when inspecting a well: "methyl tert-butyl ether, ethylene dibromide, 1,2-dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloropropane, isopropyl ether, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene." This could drive up the cost for conducting an inspection by as much as $200. |

| | Priority: | High
| | Comments: | This bill reflects the position of the NCACC Board of Directors to push back implementation of an additional $2 per ton tipping tax at county landfills and transfer stations from July 1, 2008, to Jan. 1, 2009, in order to work out kinks in the system. If your county is among those experiencing implementation problems, contact the NCACC (Paul Meyer at 919-715-4369 or Anthony Allen at 919-715-1430). |

| | Priority: | High
| | Category: | Defense
| | Comments: | A compromise bill passed the Senate on Wednesday, July 9, after a lengthy negotiation process with various stakeholders, including representatives from the 20 coastal counties that were impacted by the original proposed rules. The version that passed the Senate was considerably less restrictive than the original rules. Some low-density development is now possible without having to abide by the rules, and developers can develop an additional 10,000 feet of "impervious surface" before the rules kick in. The amount of runoff that has to be contained by developers is smaller than what the original rules called for. Some projects that have already received state and local permits would be exempted from the rules, and existing homes and businesses could be replaced without having to conform to the new rules. The Senate version now goes to the House. |
