Part 1. Selecting the Program

Each owner may receive benet from only one of the three property tax relief programs, even though you may meet the

requirements for more than one program.

However, it is possible that the tax rates or tax values may not be established until some time after the ling of this application. This

can make it difcult for you to determine which program you prefer. The following procedures will help to resolve this situation.

Applying for One Program

If you know that you only wish to apply for one program, indicate only that program at the bottom of this section. The assessor will

review your application and send you a notice of decision. The notice of decision will also explain the procedures to appeal if you do

not agree with the decision of the assessor.

Applying for More Than One Program

Each owner is eligible to receive benet from only one program. However, if you think you meet the requirements for more than

one program but, as a result of the uncertainty of tax rates or values at the time of application, you are unable to make a decision

on which one program you wish to choose, indicate all of the programs at the bottom of this section for which you wish to receive

consideration. When the tax rates and values are determined, the assessor will review your application and will send you a letter

notifying you of your options. If the letter indicates that you do not qualify or if you disagree with any decision in the letter, you may

appeal. You must respond to the option letter within the specied time period or it will be assumed that you do not wish

to participate in any of the property tax relief programs. In that case, you will be so notied and you will have the chance to

appeal.

Please read the descriptions and requirements of the three programs on the following pages and

then select the program(s) for which you are applying:

qualifying owner must either be at least 65 years of age or be totally and permanently disabled. For an owner whose income

amount for the previous year does not exceed the income eligibility limit for the current year, which for the 2021 tax year is

$31,500, the owner’s taxes will be limited to four percent (4%) of the owner’s income. For an owner whose income exceeds the

income eligibility limit ($31,500) but does not exceed 150% of the income eligibility limit, which for the 2021 tax year is $47,250, the

owner’s taxes will be limited to ve percent (5%) of the owner’s income.

However, the taxes over the limitation amount are deferred and remain a lien on the property. The last three years of

deferred taxes prior to a disqualifying event will become due and payable, with interest, on the date of the disqualifying

event. Interest accrues on the deferred taxes as if they had been payable on the dates on which they would have originally become

due. Disqualifying events are death of the owner, transfer of the property, and failure to use the property as the owner’s permanent

residence. Exceptions and special provisions apply. See G.S. 105-277.1B for the full text of the statute.

Part 5. Income Information (complete only if you also completed Part 2 or Part 4)

Social Security Number (SSN) disclosure is mandatory for approval of the Elderly or Disabled Exclusion and the Circuit Breaker Property

Tax Deferment Program and will be used to establish the identication of the applicant. The SSN may be used for verication of

information provided on this application. The authority to require this number is given by 42 U.S.C. Section 405(c)(2)(C)(i). The SSN

and all income tax information will be kept condential. The SSN may also be used to facilitate collection of property taxes if you do not

timely and voluntarily pay the taxes. Using the SSN will allow the tax collector to claim payment of an unpaid property tax bill from any

State income tax refund that might otherwise be owed to you. Your SSN may be shared with the State for this purpose. In addition, your

SSN may be used to garnish wages or attach bank accounts for failure to timely pay taxes.
