Attachment 1 - Emergency Ordinance to Extend the 2013 Revalidation Filing Deadline
ATTACHMENT 1
ORDINANCE NO. 13-E(1)
AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE TO EXTEND
THE 2013 REVALIDATION FILING DEADLINE
WHEREAS, Virginia Code § 58.1-3234 enables localities to require that property owners
receiving taxation on the basis of a use assessment revalidate with the locality any applications
previously approved; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to said enabling authority, Albemarle County Code § 15-803(D) requires in
relevant part that a revalidation form be filed with the local assessing officer on or before September 1 of
the year preceding the two-year period for which the revalidation is sought, on forms prepared by the
county; and
WHEREAS, the revalidation forms for the present two-year period were mailed to property
owners on or about August 12, 2013, leaving property owners only three weeks to complete and file their
revalidation forms without penalty; and
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance recommends that the filing deadline for revalidation forms for
the present two-year period be extended so as to allow property owners more than three weeks for the
forms’ completion and filing to avoid imposing the $125.00 late filing fee on property owners unable to
comply with the September 1 deadline because of the late mailing of revalidation forms; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors finds that an emergency exists requiring the adoption of
this Ordinance without prior public notice pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2 -1427.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY ORDAINED THAT:
Section 1. Extension of 2013 Revalidation Filing Deadline.
Notwithstanding Albemarle County Code § 15-803(D), a revalidation form may be filed with the
local assessing officer on or before October 1, 2013 for the 2014-15 revalidation period, without penalty
or late filing fee.
Section 2. Immediate effect; emergency.
This Ordinance shall take effect immediately, being adopted under emergency procedures
pursuant to Virginia Code § 15.2-1427, and shall remain in effect not longer than sixty days unless
readopted in conformity with the applicable provisions of the Virginia Code.
