The Tax Collector of Harnett County is hereby authorized, empowered, and commanded to collect the taxes set forth in the tax records filed in
the office of the Harnett County Tax Department in the amounts and from the taxpayers likewise therein set forth. Such taxes are hereby
declared to be a first lien upon all real property of the respective taxpayers in the County of Harnett, and this order shall be a full and sufficient
authority to direct, require, and enable the Tax Collector to levy on and sell any real or personal property of such taxpayers, for and on account

Section 5: Board of Education
The following categories of funding are provided for the 2020‐2021 budget year to meet the needs of the Harnett County Board of Education as
detailed in the Harnett County Schools 2020‐2021 Budget Request dated April 20, 2020.
A. Current Expense: On July 1, 2016 Harnett County adopted a funding formula for current expense which will annually budget an amount
equal to the most recent known 2nd month average daily membership (ADM) count of students within the Harnett County Public School
System, times the most recent known Three‐Year Average of Appropriations per ADM for Harnett County, as determined by the NC
Department of Public Instruction. For the fiscal year 2020‐2021 budget, Harnett County will use this base funding formula to allocate a
total of $24,680,603 for current expense. This appropriation will provide an approximated per pupil funding of $1,184.63 based upon a
Harnett County School ADM of 20,147 and a Charter School ADM of 561. The total allocation has been calculated as follows:
063020ss HCBOC Page 18
1. Base Calculation:
20,147 x $1,184.63 = $23,866,741
Expanded Calculation:
In addition to this calculation, the County will include an appropriation to provide increased current expense funding
to offset charter school allocations. This amount has been calculated as follows.
561 x $1,184.63 = $664,578
Total Calculation:
20,708 x $1,184.63 = $24,531,318
2. Hold‐harmless funding:
For the 2020 ‐ 2021 budget, the current expense allocation will remain at $24,680,603 to hold the schools
harmless for the reduction in the ADM from the prior year.
3 Supplemental taxes for the Special Averasboro School District, as outlined in Section 3 of this document, are not
included in this current expense funding formula.
B. Capital Outlay: Harnett County has adopted a funding formula for capital and capital maintenance. Appropriations will be based on an
amount equal to 65% of the prior fiscal year ADM Lottery proceeds.
For the 2020 ‐ 2021 budget year, the following amount has been calculated:
65.00% x $1,072,917 = $697,396
The remaining 35% shall be retained in the Public School Building Capital Fund for future land purchase or debt
payments.
In order to not penalize the Board of Education for the decrease value of lottery proceeds last fiscal year, the Board
of Commissioners has agreed to fund the capital and capital maintenance needs at the same rate as last fiscal
year, $1,021,528.
C. School Debt: Funds to continue to retire the debt for our public schools have been included. The amounts are as follows:

063020ss HCBOC Page 82
FISCAL POLICY – PURPOSE
Harnett County government exists to meet the needs of residents through the services the County is mandated to provide or has
elected to provide. In order to meet these needs, the County must maintain its financial integrity. In addition, the County m ust
continually prepare to provide services for a growing population. The County’s Fiscal Policy is intended to maintain and impro ve the
County’s financial condition and preserve its ability to meet future needs. This policy will be reviewed at least annually a nd changes
approved by the Board of Commissioners. An effective policy:
Contributes to the County's ability to insulate itself from fiscal crisis,
Enhances short‐term and long‐term credit worthiness and helps the County achieve the highest credit and bond ratings
possible,
Promotes long‐term financial stability by establishing a clear and consistent framework for budget and financial decisions,
Directs attention to the total financial picture of the County, rather than single‐issue areas,
Links long‐term financial planning with day‐to‐day operations, and
Provides the County Staff, the County Board of Commissioners and the County citizens a framework for measuring the fiscal
impact of government services against established fiscal parameters.
To these ends, the following fiscal policy is adopted:
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP) POLICIES
1. It is the responsibility of the County Board of Commissioners to provide for the capital equipment and facilities necessary t o
deliver county services to the residents of the County, as well as provide necessary capital equipment and facilities for the
Harnett County Public Schools and the Central Carolina Community College system.
2. North Carolina statutes charge the County Manager with preparation of the capital budget. It shall be his/her responsibility or
that of his/her designee to coordinate the CIP process; receive requests from County departments, Harnett County Public
Schools, and Central Carolina Community College; and propose a recommended CIP to the Board of Commissioners.
3. The Board of Commissioners is responsible for adopting a CIP annually and may amend it as needed.
4. All capital projects must be proposed through the County’s CIP process.
063020ss HCBOC Page 83
5. The CIP includes all approved capital projects, including new construction, renovations, vehicles and heavy equipment, new
software and other technology, and all other purchases and improvements that meet the threshold for definition as a capital
project, currently $100,000 and above.
6. The County will develop a CIP of at least seven years and review and update the plan annually. The Hamett County Public
Schools and the Community College System are strongly encouraged to submit their needs through this process, along with a
prioritization of their requests.
7. After projects are approved in the CIP and before the project can begin, the project must be authorized through one of two
means:
A. Capital project ordinances: A separate capital budget ordinance shall be submitted to the Board of Commissioners for
approval for all capital projects that are projected to span more than one fiscal year;
B. All other capital projects will be budgeted in the operating budget.
8. All capital projects will be assigned a project code by the Finance Officer for tracking and reporting purposes.
9. The CIP will prioritize the maintenance of existing facilities and equipment, and otherwise protect the county’s past capital
investments. A maintenance and replacement schedule will be developed and followed as funding allows.
10. County departments will provide a written justification and identify the estimated project costs, potential funding sources, and
impacts on the operating budget for each p roposed capital project and include this information in their requests. The County
Manager or his/her designee will review, modify as appropriate, and include this information in the recommended CIP.
11. The County will pursue the most cost‐effective strategies for financing the CIP, consistent with prudent financial management.
DEBT POLICIES
1. The County will confine long‐term borrowing to critical capital projects that cannot be financed from current revenues, unles s
financing results in a net financial benefit to the county.
2. The County will take a balanced approach to capital funding by utilizing capital reserves and pay‐as‐you‐go funding where
possible. Pay‐as‐you‐go funding will come from budgeted appropriations and funds set aside in capital reserves.
3. The county’s capital funding strategy should result in the least financial impact on current and future taxpayers.
4. When the County finances capital projects by issuing bonds or entering into capital leases, it will repay the debt within a period
063020ss HCBOC Page 84
not to exceed the expected useful life of the project. Target debt ratios will be annually calculated and included in the rev iew of
financial trends.
5. Net debt as a percentage of estimated market value of taxable property shall not exceed 2.5%. Net debt is defined as any and all
debt that is tax‐supported.
6. Debt Service expenditures as a percent of total governmental fund expenditures should not exceed 15%. Should this ratio exceed
15%, staff must request an exception from the Board of Commissioners stating the justification and expected duration of the
policy exception. Exceptions shall be reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Commissioners until co mpliance is
achieved.
7. The County will retire tax anticipation debt, if any, annually and will retire bond anticipation debt within six months after
completion of the project.
8. Outstanding tax‐supported debt principal shall be no less than 50.0% repaid in 10 years.
9. Enterprise Debt Policies:
A. The Enterprise Fund is responsible for setting rates and charges at such a level which maintains the "self‐supporting"
nature of the fund.
B. The County will target a minimum amount of equity funding of 10% of the Enterprise Fund capital improvement plan on
a five‐year rolling average.
C. The Enterprise Fund will comply with all applicable bond covenants.
D. The Enterprise Fund will maintain a debt service coverage ratio as defined by the General Indenture of the Enterprise
System Revenue Bonds. These minimum requirements are summarized to be:
1) 1.20x debt service coverage on Parity Indebtedness (Revenues for this measure may include 20% of the balance in
the Surplus Account at the end of the preceding Fiscal Year)
2) 1.00x debt service coverage of Parity Indebtedness, General Obligation Indebtedness, Subordinate Indebtedness,
Other Indebtedness, and any amount due to the Qualified Reserve Fund or Qualified Reserve Fund Substitute.
063020ss HCBOC Page 85
RESERVE POLICIES
1. The County will maintain a minimum Unassigned Fund Balance, as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, at
the close of each fiscal year equal to 15% of General Fund Expenditures with a targeted Unassigned Fund Balance equal to 20%
of General Fund Expenditures.
2. In the event that funds are available over and beyond the 20% targeted amount, those funds may be transferred to a capital
reserve fund, a capital projects fund, to pay‐down debt or to fund other one‐time uses. Such transfers or uses shall be appro ved
by the Board of County Commissioners in conjunction with a staff recommendation based upon a fu nd balance analysis to be
completed within six months of the close of each fiscal year taking into consideration the prior year's financial statements, current
year‐to‐date budget performance, current property tax valuations and the County's most recently adopted capital improvement
plan.
3. The County Board may, from time‐to‐time, utilize fund balances that will reduce Unassigned Fund Balance below the 15%
minimum for the purposes of a declared fiscal emergency or other such purpose as to protect or enhance the long‐term fiscal
security of the County. In such circumstances, the Board will adopt a plan to restore the Unassigned Fund Balance to the target
level within 36 months. If restoration cannot be accomplished within such time period without severe hardship to the County,
then the Board will establish a different but appropriate time period.
4. Enterprise Reserve Policies: The County has adopted a comprehensive strategy for the long‐term stability and financial
health of each Enterprise Fund that provides for annual increases in fund reserves to an established goal of 50% of
operating and maintenance expenses
BUDGET DEVELOPMENT POLICIES
1. The County will manage its annual budget to meet its legal and debt obligations, ensure adequate funding of current service
levels, meet the priorities of the Board of Commissioners, maintain the County’s financial condition, and keep property tax
increases to a minimum. The County shall operate under an annual balanced budget ordinance whereby the sum of net
revenues and appropriated fund balances equals the expenditure appropriations.
2. The Budget Process will comply with the North Carolina Local Government Budget and Fiscal Control Act.
063020ss HCBOC Page 86
3. North Carolina statutes charge the County Manager with preparation of the recommended operating budget. It shall be his/her
responsibility or that of his/her designee to coordinate the budget process; receive requests from County departments, Harnett
County Public Schools, and Central Carolina Community College; and propose a recommended budget to the Board of
Commissioners.
4. The Board of Commissioners is responsible for adopting an annual operating budget and may amend it as needed.
5. Use of one‐time revenues: One‐time revenues should not support ongoing personnel and operating costs. Use of one‐time
revenues is appropriate for capital outlay, CIP projects, debt retirement, contribution to capital reserve, and other non‐
recurring expenses. Proceeds from the sale of surplus capital items will go into the County’s general capital reserve, unless
proceeds are otherwise restricted.
6. The County will pursue an aggressive policy to collect current and delinquent property taxes, utility fees, licenses, permits and
other revenues due to the County. The County will not waive any revenues due to the County unless those revenues were
collected unlawfully.
7. The Finance Officer will generate reports that show actual revenues and expenditures compared to the budget and will present
this to the County Board on a monthly basis.
8. Budget amendments will be brought to the County Board for consideration as needed.
9. New or increased services: The County should ensure adequate funding of current services before funding new or enhanced
services.
10. Mid‐year appropriations: All agencies supported by the county must function within the resources made available to them
through the annual budget. The county will consider requests for new or expanded programs during the course of the regular
budget process. Only in extreme circumstances will such requests be considered outside of the budget process.
11. Funding‐of Outside Agencies: From time to time, the County may elect to provide services through nonprofit agencies if those
services meet the standard for public purpose as defined by the NC Constitution and the services can be achieved more cost
effectively through the nonprofit. In order to receive county funding, nonprofits must abide by the county’s budget process
and deadlines and provide the information requested during budget process.
12. Grants: The County will pursue federal, state, and private grants to enhance services to County residents. However, the County
will strictly limit its financial support of grant‐funded programs to avoid commitments that continue beyond funding
availability. The County will not continue programs after grants have expired, except as expressly ap proved by the Board of
Commissioners as part of the annual budget process. The grant approval process will proceed as follows:
063020ss HCBOC Page 87
A.If a grant does not require any county match, either cash or in‐kind, and the funder does not expect the county to continue
to fund a position or a program after the grant, then the proposal can be reviewed and approved by staff. However, the
County Manager may choose to present a grant proposal to the Board for approval, if he/she feels that it is appropriate.
B.If the grant requires a county match, either cash or in‐kind, or the funder expects the county to continue to fund a position
or program after the grant is complete, then the grant application must be submitted to the Board of Commissioners for
approval.
C. For grants that require Board of Commissioner approval, but approval cannot be obtained before the grant deadline, the
Manager’s Office can authorize the application with prior notice to the Chair and Vice Chair and report to the Board of
Commissioners at their next meeting. If the Board of Commissioners does not approve the grant proposal, the funder will
be notified that the county chooses to withdraw the application.
D.Departments shall be responsible for timely completion and filing of reports required by the grantor. Missing of report
deadlines shall be grounds for denying approval of future grant applications.
13.New positions: New positions for existing programs and services should be added when there is no other viable option.
Alternatives, such as contracting, technology, and reassignment of duties should be fully explored and documented before
new positions are funded.
14.Level of budgeting: In order to tie costs to specific services, departments shall submit budgets for each of their divisions or
program areas. Department heads are authorized to transfer operating funds between their divisions without prior approval.
Transfers to and from personnel and capital outlay must be approved by the Budget Officer. The County shall adopt budgets
at the department level. Commissioners reserve the right to review and/or adopt budgets at a greater level of detail.
15.Justification for funding: Departments and agencies requesting funding from the county should justify their requests in terms
of maintaining or increasing service levels. Departments should measure their performance in key service areas and periodically
compare their performance to other jurisdictions to discover efficiencies and develop best management practices.
16.Contingency funds: Departments shall not include contingency funds in their respective budgets. The county shall include a
general contingency fund in its annual budget. The amount of the contingency fund shall not exceed one percent of the annual
budget.
17.Budget Officer: The County Manager serves as the budget officer. He/she is authorized to perform the following functions or
delegate them:

operational and capital purposes. The Enterprise Funds will adhere to the County Fiscal Policy with any exceptions noted
in the policy.
B. Any improvements required to meet new regulatory requirements or to meet changes in the service demands will be
included in either the capital improvement plan or the annual budget request, depending on the cost of the improvement.
C. Service rates:
1) Service rates will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process.
2) Service rates will be adjusted as needed to provide adequate funding for the proper operation, maintenance, and
expansion of the system.
3) Service rates will be adjusted as necessary to meet bond covenants, debt service obligations, and the Adopted Fiscal
Policy.
EDUCATION FUNDING POLICIES
1. It is the intent of the County to appropriate funding to the Board of Education to assure that the necessary resources are provided
for current expense and to meet the low‐wealth funding requirements.
2. The County will provide current expense funding based upon the most recent known 2nd month average daily membership
063020ss HCBOC Page 89

Tax Department Questions concerning exemptions, exclusions, late listing penalties as affected by the
pandemic.
1. GS 105-277 June 1 is the statutory deadline for receiving applications for tax relief for taxpayers who
qualify for elderly, disabled, and disabled veterans exclusions. Tax Department is requesting extending
the deadline to August 1. Thus any taxpayer who would have otherwise qualified for tax relief, and gets
us the paperwork by August 1, will be approved, and the 2020 tax bill adjusted . Tax bills become due
September 1.
(We would like the Board to give us the authority to approve any elderly, disabled, disabled vet
applications that come to us by August 1, 2020 .)
2. Tax Department has done a review of a recommended number of taxpayers receiving tax relief
through the exclusions listed in #1 (above). We have identified a number of deceased taxpayers whose
exemptions have expired. Some of these go back a number of years. GS 105-312 provides a way to
recover taxes for these inappropriately applied exclusions. We would like the Board's opinion on
moving forward with correcting these exclusions. There is a five-year limitation for looking back at
misapplied exclusions. There are also penalties associated with discovery. Tax Department would like
to adjust these exclusions, in fairness to other taxpayers in the County. The Board can waive the
penalties, if desired.
(The assessed value of these properties is around 1.3 million, represents between$ 10,000 and $16,000
in tax revenue. We would like the Board to tell us whether they prefer we do discovery and try to collect
these amounts including penalties, waive the penalties and collect, or just correct things going forward .
Either of these options are available to the Board.)
3. The listing period for Business Personal Property ended January 31 , 2020. If filed before the end of
the regular listing period, a filing Extension can be granted until 4/15. The April 15 extension date
cannot be extended unless the General Assembly changes the statute. Ta x Department has been very
clear with taxpayers that this was the case. Of course, the pandemic hit, and many offices, including the
Tax Department have been closed to the public since March 30. We have continued to collect Business
Listings and key them into our system. We had more than 500 businesses to file for extensions by
January 31. At least 200 of those businesses did not meet the April 15, 2020 listing date . This means
that there will be late listing penalties added to those tax bills. Taxpayers can appeal those late listing
penalties. If the Board agrees the Tax Department could waive late listing penalties for those who filed
exten sions for April 15, but actually get their listings to the Tax Office say, by June 30, 2020-to account
for is sues with the pandemic.
(We would like the Board to state a preference related to this issue . Most of these 200 or so businesses
(or their accountants) will try to say that the pandemic caused them to actually list later than the
extension date. They actually had 2 full months after January 31 end of listing period to get these items
in on time. In a way I don't have any sympathy for that. And, again, while IRS and DOR extended
income tax filing deadlines to July 15, that has nothing to do with property tax deadlines, but will be
used as a talking point for those who might appeal late listing penalties. So , the Board has options-Tax
Department can assess the late listing penalties, there will be appeals, though the statute is clear. Or,
063020ss HCBOC Page 100
Tax Department, at the direction of the Board, can accept listings through the end of fiscal year (June
30) as though they were on time; taxpayers would not be assessed late list penalties . Any taxpayers
filing later than that would be subject to late listing penalties .
