A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF ASHE COUNTY TO LEVY, ASSESS, AND COLLECT A SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL FEE AND TO IMPOSE TIPPING FEES AT THE COUNTY LANDFILL FOR INDUSTRIES, COMMERCIAL HAULERS, AND OTHER NONHOUSEHOLD LANDFILL USERS.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:  
Section 1. (a)	The Board of Commissioners of Ashe County may adopt an ordinance that provides for the levy, assessment, and collection of a solid waste disposal fee each fiscal year from each household in the county.  This fee may be billed with the ad valorem taxes, may be payable in the same manner as ad valorem taxes, and, in the case of nonpayment, may result in the imposition of a lien on the property owner's real property in the same manner as ad valorem taxes.  The county may use the revenue generated by the fees only for solid waste disposal that is partially supported by tipping fees paid, directly or indirectly, by those not subject to the fee.  The fee authorized by this act may become effective only on the first day of a month following the date on which the ordinance or resolution levying the fee is adopted. 
(b)	The Board of Commissioners of Ashe County may adopt an ordinance that provides for the imposition of a solid waste tipping fee to be collected at the county landfill for industries, commercial haulers, and other nonhousehold users that are not subject to the solid waste disposal fee levied pursuant to subsection (a) of this section.  The county may use the revenue generated by the tipping fees for solid waste disposal that is partially supported by the household solid waste disposal fees.  The fee authorized by this act may become effective only on the first day of a month following the date on which the ordinance or resolution levying the fee is adopted.
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
