Agenda Item Additional Information
Item Title: Joint Resolution Adopting North Carolina Geodetic Survey's Resurvey of the
Common Boundary between Harnett County and Wake County
Specific Action Requested:
That the Board of Commissioners:
1. Adopts the location of the boundary line between Harnett County and Wake
County in accordance with the plat prepared by North Carolina Geodetic
Survey, and adopts the joint resolution.
2. Directs the Harnett County Tax Administrator to assess parcels, or portions
thereof, that have previously been assessed in Wake County but will now be
in Harnett County, in accordance with the plat prepared by North Carolina
Geodetic Survey and mutually agreed to by this Board and the Wake County
Board of Commissioners.
Item Summary:
Purpose:
Background:
North Carolina General Statute 153A-18 gives Counties the authority
to mutually establish county boundary lines that are uncertain
through ratification of a survey prepared by North Carolina Geodetic
Survey.
On April 16, 2018, the Board of Commissioners jointly agreed with
the Wake County and Chatham County Board of Commissioners to
resolve issues with the boundary line by first authorizing legislation
to establish the correct common corner shared by all three counties.
On June 25, 2018, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified
legislation, Session Law 2018-62, that corrects the common corner
for Wake, Harnett, and Chatham Counties.
The next step is to resolve uncertainties in the shared boundary line
between Wake County and Harnett County. This can be
accomplished by mutual agreement (Joint Resolution) of the plat
prepared by North Carolina Geodetic Survey that depicts the newly
established boundary line (attached).
If adopted, the Resolution will also direct the Harnett County Tax
Administrator to assess parcels, or portions thereof, that have
previously been assessed in Wake County but will now be in Hamett
County.
100918wsa HC BOC Page 5
All changes to the County line described herein become effective on
January 1, 2019. Staff has been in contact with all impacted property
owners and has notified them of today's meeting.
Additional Information :
Uncertainty with the location of county boundary lines is not uncommon in North Carolina.
Today's technology can locate boundary lines much more precisely and uncover
discrepancies in those boundaries. These discrepancies can create issues when it comes
to tax assessment, property value, deed recordation, zoning, building permitting, public
safety, board of elections, and the school system .
The current issue has been prompted by differences between the boundary line that
Hamett County uses versus the one that Wake County uses. In some instances, the
boundary line used between the two counties varies as much as several hundred feet.
This has resulted in confusion over the delivery of services and tax assessment to the
properties along the boundary line.
Given the uncertainties, Harnett and Wake County staff requested North Carolina
Geodetic Survey to conduct historical research and field work to determine the accurate
location of the shared boundary line. During their work they discovered errors in the 1961
Wake County and Chatham County survey whereby the Wake/Chatham/Harnett corner
was incorrectly located. This error was corrected in the recent Session Law 2018-62 and
was supported by all three counties. With this correction, Harnett County and Wake
County can now proceed with resolving the uncertainty in their shared boundary line.
North Carolina Geodetic Survey has completed the field work and prepared a plat
showing where the Harnett and Wake County boundary line should be (attached). In
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 153A-18, both Hamett County and Wake
County can mutually agree to establish this as the county boundary line.
Since last year, staff from each county have been working collaboratively on identifying
all the parcels impacted by the boundary line issue. Staff conducted two community
meetings (December 5, 2017 and March 27, 2018) where property owners were able
learn more about the issue. Property owners were also sent letters detailing the impact
on their property. For example, where the boundary line splits a parcel, the property will
now become split assessed between the two counties. This is in accordance with state
law. In other cases, the property will move entirely from one county to the other. Two of
the more common concerns from property owners are: 1) will future development be
restricted in some way on a parcel that is split between the two counties? and 2) will a
split parcel affect the current agricultural tax deferment (which allows property owners
who are farming their land to have a reduced tax value until the property transitions to a
non-agricultural use)? The answer to both questions is no impact at all.
100918wsa HC BOC Page 6
The following summarizes the property impacts along the HarnettM'ake County boundary
line:
Harnett I Wake County Boundary -PRELIMINARY EST/MA TES
Properties Affected Count Estimated
Value
Homes moving from Wake to Harnett (Gain) 10 $1,266,193
Homes moving from Hamett to Wake (Loss) 5 $ 588 260
Homes split between Harnett and Wake (Gain) 8 $ 198,955
Parcels split between Harnett and Wake with a (Gain) 51 $ 389,930
Parcels split between Harnett and Wake with a {Loss) 34 $ 382 880
Total Preliminary Estimated Tax Value for Harnett (Gain) $ 883,938
Total Preliminary Estimated Tax Revenue for Harnett (Gain) $ 6,630
The attached resolution is also being considered by the Wake County Board of
Commissioners at their meeting on October 15, 2018. Should both boards adopt it, the
newly established line will become effective on January 1, 2019 . Several months prior to
the effective date, each County will apply zoning to the properties, or portions thereof,
that are being transferred into the county. Property owners will be notified during this
process. Additionally, each County will record with their Register of Deeds a document
that identifies all impacted parcels resulting from this corrective action of the county
boundary line .

HARNETT-WAKE COUNTY BOUNDARY LINE
SUMMARY OF RESEARCH FIND1NG8> September 2018
HISTORY
Hamett County was fonned in 1855 from Cumberland County
Hamett County were fonned from Cumberland County in 1855. From page 116 of David Leroy Corbitt's
book "The Formation of the North Carolina Counties 1663 -1943 "reads .... ,Beginning at the intersection
~/'lines of Johnston and Sampson counties, on Black Mingo; thence a direct line to the mouth of lower
little river; thence up said river to the bridge at Elliot 's mills; thence a straight line to the place on the
Murchison road where Hector's creek crosses; thence with said line to road to the A1oore county line;
thence with said line to the Chatham co11nty line; thence with that to the Wake county line; thence with
that to the Johnston county line; thence with that to the beginning. (Public Laws, 1854-55, Ch. 8}
Wake County was formed in 1770 from Johnston County
Wake County were formed from Johnston County in 1770. From page 212 of David Leroy Corbitt's book
"The Formation of the North Carolina Counties /663-1943" reads .... ,the said Counties ofJohnston,
Cumberland, and Orange, be divided by the following Lines; that is to say; Beginning at Edgecomb Line
on Mocossin Swamp, a Mile above James Lea's Plantation . running a direct Line to the Neuse River, at
the upper End of.John Bedding/ield's Plantation; then to David Mimm 's Mill Creek, between Mimm 's
Mill and Tanner's old M;ff; then the same course continued to the Ridge which divides Cumberland and
Johnston Counties; then a straight Line lo Orange Line, at the lower End of Richard Hill 's Plantation, on
Buckhorn; then the same Course continued Five Miles; Jhen to the Corner of Johnston Coun~y 011
Granl'il/e Line; then with the same Line and Bute Line to Edgecomb line; and along Edgecomb Line to
the Beginning; be thenceforth erected into a Distinct County and Parish by the name of Wake County,
and St. Margaret's Parish. (S. R., XXIII, 8 19)
CONCLUSION
The earliest record of a survey of the Hamett-Wake County boundary line is that of the 1855 creation of
Harnet1 County is most probable the first survey. Although adoption and ratification records of this survey
aren't available, witness of it having been conducted is presented in the description of th e Land Grant
#266 recorded in Chatham County Register of Deeds Office in 1780 as well as the Hamett County
Register of Deeds Office recordation of a deed i n 1923; the North Carolina General Assembly Session
20 17-2018 House Bill 1082 adopting the EIP in rock pile as the Chatham, Harnett, Wake County corner;
the existing truck axle per Plat Book 1987; Page 788 and Plat Book I 941; Page 35 in Wake County
Register of Deeds Office; with Land Grant #776 Cumberland County states to James Liphott 1790 calls
for a pine a t the truck axle location; t he existing NCGS monument disk stamped " Wake Johnston Hamett
dated 2005. In conclusion, research of the original county line descriptions, h istoric maps, land grant
descriptions, property deed descriptions, and property survey plats illustrate the best witness to the
position of the county boundary line is at the EIP in rock pile in a southeasterly direction to the truck axle;
then in southeasterly direction to the NCGS monument to be the red line drawn on preliminary map titled
Harnet1 County and Wake County Boundary Line as attached.

Dear Harnett County Commissioners,
GOVERNING BOARD
Mayor Chris Coats
Mayor Pro Tern Jerry Beasley
Commissioner JC Alle n
Commissioner Bob Hedrick
Commissioner Allen Mosby
Commissioner J.D . Raynor
The Town of Coats is formally requesting assistance in offsetting the tipping fees
associated with our debris disposal from a storm on July 22nd of this year. This
powerful storm caused trees to fall, localized flooding, and structural wind damage
to several parts of the town. Our Town Manager and Public Works Director have
calculated that between July 22 and August 21 we have collected and disposed a
total of 303 tons of debris at the county landfill. This has cost $9,093 in tipping fees
as a direct result of this storm. We were very thankful that the Town of Dunn and
the Town of Angier sent equipment and personnel to help in the collection process.
We ask for this assistance because the tipping fees associated with the storm have
had a large impact on our budget. To put the cost of this storm in perspective, last
fiscal year we collected a total of 360 tons of brush and spent a total of $10,500 in
tipping fees. This one storm has nearly exhausted our landfill tipping fee budget for
the entire year. We are formally asking for any assistance that the County can give
in the tipping fees accrued as a direct result of the storm on July 22, 2018.
Respectfully,
Chris Coats
Mayor, Town of Coats
