BACKGROUND

Background

On January 4, 2023, the Board of Commissioners received a status update on the tax collection rate for local municipalities.  Guilford County's current Inter local Agreement (ILA) rate for collection is 0.62%, and has been in place for 13 years.  The current contracts are up for renewal and upon assessment of the County's cost to collect and value added through the County's use of Pictometry Imagery, four year reappraisal schedule, the County's addition of 5 new positions to aid in collection, and the increasing costs of the departmental budget since the rates were first set, along with a review of the jurisdictional taxable values showing increases between 2017 and 2022 for the tax base, it is staff's recommendation that an increase in ILA rates to .75% and a five (5) year extension of agreements are warranted at this time.  See attached price consideration table.
