Re: [FWDLK] property taxes/old cars



Start with not believing anything they tell you: of course they won’t help you file your case, they’d rather send you in the woods!

Not that it’s always like that, but it won’t hurt to always think like that.

Ask a good lawyer, using it’s free first half hour or so.

Or go over the laws yourself, on the internet. Search for applicable case law also.

Onderwerp: [FWDLK] property taxes/old cars

 

In North Carolina an annual property tax must be paid on every vehicle. It matters not whether the car is usable or licensed. . A special "book" is kept in the state capitol which gives the local assessor the "correct rate" at which to tax your old car. The book assumes every old car, including that rusted out old Model A in the wood behind your house is a restored model. Appeal is virtually impossible, as I stated in another post a few minutes ago. One must go to Raleigh with a hired lawyer after filing a petition and formally present your appeal to a tax appeal board. This is what I was told by letter when I protested my tax bill.

As mentioned above, the tax is an ANNUAL one, and though it decreases slightly each year on new cars, it increases on "antique" models.

I have many friends who "hoard" old parts cars "out back" that are in great fear of the tax assessors finding their ":stash." Especially so since they have begun using aircraft to spot these vehicles. North Carolina is NOT a tax friendly state to homeowners or old car lovers. And yet each year I receive an "invitation" to enter my 55 Imperial in the annual Christmas Parade. For free, of course.

Oh yes-fail to pay the tax on that "junker" out back and they will refuse to license your regular driver.
