March 1, 2010 (Work Session) Page 1840 to N.C.G.S. §105-380, members of the Board of Commissioners who vote for release, refund or compromise of a tax obligation in violation of Chapter 105 of the North Carolina General Statutes can be held personally liable for the taxes, plus court costs including attorneys fees. Mr. Koch responded to numerous questions from the Board. He further advised that: Mr. Moretz will be present at the regular meeting to make an appeal to the Board on Mr. McAfee's behalf as to why the Board should refund those taxes; a previously undetected bankruptcy was discovered; the only way to determine owner validity is through a title search, which is not the County's responsibility; and if the Board denies the refund request, there are other options for the taxpayer.
