AI Summary

  • Enables transition of properties along the Alamance County and Orange County boundary following a 2008 North Carolina Geodetic Survey that established the historic 1849 boundary line, which had become uncertain over 160 years.

  • Allows both counties to maintain current taxation, school attendance, elections, and government functions until July 1, 2011, at which time properties transfer to their correct county based on the resurveyed boundary.

  • Establishes procedures for property tax assessment and collection during transition, allowing counties to choose valuation methods for annexed real property and providing that motor vehicle taxes collected before July 1, 2011 remain with the original county.

  • Permits property owners to petition both counties by December 15, 2010 to remain in their original county or, if property is bisected, to be assigned to one county, with further resurvey conducted where administratively appropriate.

  • Requires both counties to submit a final, mutually agreed-upon survey map to the North Carolina General Assembly for ratification by May 15, 2011, and transfers voter registration records, jury lists, and court districts effective July 1, 2011.
