<br />E age4z- -4-
<br />the fiscal year next preceding the distribution. For purposes of this section, the amount of the
<br />ad valorem taxes levied by a county or municipality includes ad valorem taxes levied by the
<br />county or municipality in behalf of a taxing district and collected by the county or municipality.
<br />In addition, the amount of taxes levied by a county includes ad valorem taxes levied by a
<br />merged school administrative unit described In G.S. 115C -513 in the part of the unit located in
<br />the county. In computing the amount of tax proceeds to be distributed to each county and
<br />municipality, the amount of any ad valorem taxes levied but not substantially collected shall be
<br />ignored. Each county and municipality receiving a distribution of the proceeds of the tax levied
<br />under this Article shall in turn immediately share the proceeds with each district in behalf of
<br />which the county or municipality levied ad valorem taxes in the proportion that the district levy
<br />bears to the total levy of the county or municipality. Any county or municipality that fails to
<br />provide the Department of Revenue with information concerning ad valorem taxes levied by it
<br />adequate to permit a timely determination of its appropriate share of tax proceeds collected
<br />under this Article may be excluded by the Secretary from each monthly distribution with respect
<br />to which the information was not provided in a timely manner, and those tax proceeds shall
<br />then be distributed only to the remaining counties or municipalities, as appropriate. For the
<br />purpose of computing the distribution of the tax under this subsection to any county and the
<br />municipalities located in the county for any month with respect to which the property valuation
<br />of a public service company is the subject of an appeal and the Department of Revenue is
<br />restrained by law from certifying the valuation to the county and the municipalities in the
<br />county, the Department shall use the last property valuation of the public service company that
<br />has been certified.
<br />The board of county commissioners in each taxing county shall, by resolution adopted during
<br />the month of April of each year, determine which of the two foregoing methods of distribution
<br />shall be in effect in the county during the next succeeding fiscal year. In order for the resolution
<br />to be effective, a certified copy of it must be delivered to the Secretary in Raleigh within 15
<br />calendar days after its adoption. If the board fails to adopt a resolution choosing a method of
<br />distribution not then in effect in the county, or if a certified copy of the resolution is not timely
<br />delivered to the Secretary, the method of distribution then in effect in the county shall continue
<br />in effect for the following fiscal year. The method of distribution in effect on the first of July of
<br />each fiscal year shall apply to every distribution made during that fiscal year.
<br />(bl) Repealed by Session Laws 2008 -134, s. 14(b), effective July 28, 2008.
<br />(c) Municipality Defined. -- As used in this Article, the term "municipality" means "city" as
<br />defined in G.S. 153A -1.
<br />(d) No municipality may receive any funds under this section if it was incorporated with an
<br />effective date of on or after January 1, 2000, and is disqualified from receiving funds under
<br />G.S. 136 -41.2. No municipality may receive any funds under this section, incorporated with an
<br />effective date on or after January 1, 2000, unless a majority of the mileage of its streets are
<br />open to the public. The previous sentence becomes effective with respect to distribution of
<br />funds on or after July 1, 1999.
