Title
Request for Approval of Refund of Certain Erroneously Assessed Real Estate Taxes
Purpose
PURPOSE/BACKGROUND:
The City Treasurer shall issue refunds of local tax, penalty, and interest assessed and paid, owing to a taxpayer due to an erroneous assessment. Pursuant to Hampton City Code Section 37-2(b) and Code of Virginia Section 58.1-3981, no refund in excess of $2,500 per invoice shall be made until the amount is approved by the City Attorney and the City Council.
Discussion:
The Assessor of Real Estate has given notice to the City Treasurer of a change in assessment resulting in the need to refund certain real estate taxes paid by Mallory Pointe VA, LLC for real property located at 1300 N. Mallory Street (LRSN 12005714) (the "Property"). Mallory Pointe VA, LLC acquired the Property on February 16, 2018 from AH&H Corp. In October of that same year, the property was transferred from Mallory Pointe VA, LLC to the Mallory Pointe Owners Association. Pursuant to Code of Virginia Section 58.1-3284.1, common space in a planned development shall be construed as having no value in that it only lies in the value that is attached to the residential and commercial properties with rights to use that open space (and the value for which is included proportionally in the values of those residential and commercial properties). The total amount of the refund due and payable to Mallory Pointe VA, LLC for those taxes, penalty, and interest paid for the period of February 16, 2018 through October 17, 2018 is $16,848.30, in accordance with 58.1-3916, and will be paid to Mallory Pointe VA, LLC at its principal address of 448 Viking Drive, Suite 220, Virginia Beach VA 23452.
