GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
SESSION 2011
SESSION LAW 2011-368
HOUSE BILL 417
AN ACT to extend the time period for holding real property as a future site for housing for low‑ or moderate‑income individuals and families.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 105‑278.6 reads as rewritten:
"§ 105‑278.6. Real and personal property used for charitable purposes.
(a) Real and personal property owned by:
…
(8) A nonprofit organization providing housing for individuals or families with low or moderate incomes
shall be exempted from taxation if: (i) As to real property, it is actually and exclusively occupied and used, and as to personal property, it is entirely and completely used, by the owner for charitable purposes; and (ii) the owner is not organized or operated for profit.
…
(e) Real property held by
an organization described in subdivision (a)(8) for a charitable purpose under
this section as a future site for housing for individuals or families with low
or moderate incomes may be classified under this section for no more than five
10 years. The taxes that would otherwise be due on real property exempt
under this subsection shall be a lien on the property as provided in G.S. 105‑355(a).
The taxes shall be carried forward in the records of the taxing unit as
deferred taxes. The deferred taxes are due and payable in accordance with G.S. 105‑277.1F
when the property loses its eligibility for deferral as a result of a
disqualifying event. A disqualifying event occurs when the property was not
used for low‑ or moderate‑income housing within five 10
years from the first day of the fiscal year the property was classified under
this subsection. In addition to the provisions in G.S. 105‑277.1F,
all liens arising under this subdivision are extinguished when the property is
used for low‑ or moderate‑income housing within the time period
allowed under this subsection."
SECTION 2. This act is effective for taxes imposed for taxable years beginning on or after July 1, 2011.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 17th day of June, 2011.
