Davidson County officials have
announced that a glitch is to blame for some county residents being overcharged
on their vehicle tag tax bill. A new tag and tax law was started in July 2013
in North Carolina that made it mandatory for vehicle owners to pay vehicle
property taxes when they purchase or renew a license tag. The glitch occurred
due to the new software, which pulls addresses from the state system. If the
addresses do not match exactly, by default the highest municipal tax rate in
the county will be assessed on the vehicle tax bill. Prior to the new law, the
county was averaging about 10 errors per month out of approximately 13,000
monthly bills. But now the county is averaging 60 refund requests each month
due to the glitch. This glitch only affects vehicle property tax bills.
Davidson county residents are urged to look at their bills, and contact the
Davidson County Tax Office at 336-242-2160 as soon as possible if they notice
the wrong tax rate listed.
