Covenant Questions!
Recently a citizen went into the Union County tax assessors office and asked that his 8 acre parcel be placed in a covenant program, which would of course save him a lot of money on his property taxes. He was informed that to be accepted in a covenant he had to have at least 10 acres, no exceptions. The citizen then pointed out that others including Rep. Charles Jenkins, High School Principal Ed Rohrbuagh and School Board member Steve Odom all had tracts of less than 10 acres in a covenant. At that, the citizen was told that well, maybe they could accept his tract. He declined as the State rules do indeed dictate a minimum of 10 acres. To verify this one can go to: www.unioncountymaps.com You can also search for other tracts of less than 10 acres which are in a covenant program in violation of the law.
