Tax Collector's Annual Settlement Tax Administrator May Yow presented the tax collector's annual settlement. She stated that each year the tax collector must make settlement with the governing board per NCGS 105-373. As part of the settlement, the governing board charges the tax collector with collecting taxes for the current fiscal year and prior fiscal years with unpaid taxes. This "charge" gives the tax collector authority to use enforced collection measures and it gives legal notice that the tax lien is first in priority. Chair Dalrymple stated that separate motions are needed for the acceptance of the settlement, adoption of the resolution, and charging of the tax collector with collecting 2017 taxes.
