The Catawba County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved tax releases, refunds and motor-vehicle billing adjustments for February and adopted a resolution directing the county tax collector to advertise delinquent real estate property tax liens.
County Manager Mary S. Furtado told the board staff verified 24 releases totaling $6,741.55, four refunds totaling $43,586.13, and 53 motor-vehicle bill adjustments/refunds totaling $4,787.26. Common causes listed were changes in assessed value or months, changes in situs, business sales or closures, clerical errors, duplicate billings and pro-ration due to ownership transfers.
The board adopted RESOLUTION #2026-06, which orders the Catawba County Tax Collector to post notice of liens at the county courthouse and publish each lien at least once in newspapers of general circulation, in conformity with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 105-369. Chair Randy Isenhower moved the consent agenda; the motion carried unanimously.
The resolution takes effect on adoption. The county indicated motor-vehicle adjustments were largely pro-rated to account for mid-year transfers of ownership and other administrative corrections.
