Wilgrove-Mint Hill Road Sidewalk Project
Show All Answers
1.
Q: How much property will be needed between the road and the sidewalk?
A: This is a design/survey question and would depend on the lay of the land; however, the Town would not seek any more land than is necessary to construct the sidewalk.
2.
Q: If the sidewalk is on the individual property, i.e. through an easement, etc., who would be liable if someone got hurt on the sidewalk? Can there be a clause written into an easement agreement?
A: If the sidewalk is the cause of the injury, then I believe the liability, if any, would be with the Town. If the land is deeded in fee simple to the Town of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), then this should be a non-issue because the individual would not actually own the property.
3.
Q: Who will own the property where the sidewalk is located?
A: Probably the "cleanest" way to structure it is for the property owner to deed the property to either NCDOT or the Town in fee simple. That way the property would have no owner liabilities, e.g., presumably the real estate taxes would be slightly reduced.
4.
Q: If property owners donate right-of-way to the Town, can they use that as a tax deduction?
A: Yes, but the would need to check with their accountant to determine how the deduction would be handled. The Town will sign a form from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) denoting a donation was received. The property owner is liable fro determining the amount of the donation.
5.
Q: Will property owners have to pay taxes on the property upon which the sidewalk is built if it given as an easement? What if right-of-way is dedicated/given to the State/Town?
According to Mecklenburg County, property owners are currently not being assessed for the value of their property which is used as roadway. Also, the Tax Assessors office state the value is based on usable site area and given the amount of donation required to construct the sidewalk there will likely not be a tremendous impact on usable site area. If there is a substantial change in the nature of the property due to the donation of land, then the County would take that into consideration during the property valuation process.
