SESSION LAW 1999-89
SENATE BILL 468

AN ACT CONCERNING CORNER LOT ASSESSMENT EXEMPTIONS BY THE CITY OF WINSTON-SALEM AND FORSYTH COUNTY.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  G.S. 160A-219 reads as rewritten:
"§ 160A-219. Corner lot exemptions.
The council shall have authority to establish schedules of exemptions from assessments for corner lots when a project is undertaken along both sides of such lots. The schedules of exemptions shall be based on categories of land use (residential, commercial, industrial, or agricultural) and shall be uniform for each category. The schedule of exemptions may provide for exemption of up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the frontage of any side of a corner lot, or 200 feet, whichever is greater."
Section 2.  G.S. 153A-187 reads as rewritten:
"§ 153A-187. Corner lot exemptions.
The board of commissioners may establish schedules of exemptions from assessments for water or sewer projects for corner lots when water or sewer lines are installed along both sides of the lots. A schedule of exemptions shall be based on categories of land use (residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural) and shall be uniform for each category. A schedule may allow exemption of up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the frontage of any side of a corner lot, or 200 feet, whichever is greater."
Section 3.  This act applies only to the City of Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, and the City/County Utility Commission of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County, and to any property served by any of them.  To the extent this act conflicts with Chapter 224 of the Private Laws of 1927, this act prevails.
Section 4.  This act is effective when it becomes law.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 25th day of May, 1999.
