Bill Of Sale For North Carolina: Fill & Download for Free

I haven't seen North Carolina and South Carolina's border mentioned in any answers yet.Take a look at the border:See the section in red? it wasn't supposed to be like that. It was supposed to look like this:Oops! Somebody messed up.When the two Carolinas were created as separate British colonies, they were supposed to be split by two simple straight lines: one running northwest from the Atlantic Coast to the 35th Parallel, the other following the 35th parallel due west. In other words the diagonal black line running from the coast in a northwesterly direction was supposed to continue Northwest until it intersected the black line running in an East-West direction. But it wasn’t so easy.The original 1735 survey party had members who sometimes didn’t show up, sometimes didn’t get paid, and often gave up while trudging through the swamps and wilderness they encountered in the Carolina lowlands country on their way up from the coast. That may explain why they failed to reach their target, the 35th Parallel, after two years of effort: Instead, they drove a stake into the ground 12 miles too far to the south, and went home.Another party, sent out in 1764 to continue the survey, headed west from that same stake, thinking erroneously that the previous surveyors had indeed reached the 35th parallel. The 35th parallel was supposed to intersect the Catawba Indian Nation as it went west. When the survey crew never found the Catawba Indians, they sent out scouts and found the Indians 12 miles to the north. That was when they realized their error. By the time they detected their error, 64 miles later, they had shaved 422,000 acres off what was supposed to be South Carolina.An effort was made to compensate South Carolina with more territory by continuing the westward line slightly north of the 35th Parallel. Look for how the border in the westward portion of the boundary on the second drawing is slightly north of the red line.So the survey team at that time navigated their way northwest around the Catawba Indian Nation and then back southwest until they were mired in the swamps of the Catawba River and decided to use the Catawba River north as the boundary. The boundary was re-surveyed at least three times, in 1813, in 1815, and in 1905, without doing much of anything to correct the original errors. Both states agreed to what is largely the current boundary in 1815.There the border, tenuous as it was, might have stayed except for the construction of the Fort Mill dam in the early 1900′s and the subsequent flooding of the Catawba River to create Lake Wylie. The flooding inundated thousands of acres of land, and a border that might have been found was now lost.This is the best image I can come up with that shows what was supposed to happen and what did happen:And there the matter stayed until the 1990′s when the Duke Energy Corporation offered to sell the two states land that straddled both of them in order to create a state park. The utility asked the not unreasonable question of exactly where the boundary ran. The trouble was, neither state knew. And neither state wanted to buy land that wasn't already within their borders and suffer the subsequent legal problems that might bring.In 1993 the two states’ mapping agencies pledged to cooperate, harnessing geospatial technology to old-fashioned detective work. In one border segment near Charlotte, NC, they unearthed colonial-era property maps that had used the boundary trees as tract corners and overlaid Geographic Information System data — mapping technology accurate to within inches — to calculate where the trees once stood.In another segment, researchers found a stone boundary monument that had been set as part of a 1928 re-survey, except it now stood near a tee on a golf course. Officials at the course had moved it years before so golfers could brag about their two-state tee shot. Using the original 1928 maps, advanced mathematics, and some informed guesswork, the joint survey teams navigated to the exact spot where the monument had been uprooted, and even found its broken-off base.By 2013, the entire 334-mile boundary had been relocated and re-marked. Unfortunately, it was not always where people had thought it was. Some residents living near the boundary discovered that their homes were in fact in a different state. A North Carolina doctor discovered that the room in his home where he sometimes saw patients was in fact in South Carolina, and worried he would have to get a South Carolina medical license.Fortunately, the two states had seen this coming, and the Joint Boundary Commission they formed to oversee the surveying began to catalog potential negative impacts. The commission sent letters and aerial photos to 173 landowners warning that their lives — and sometimes their addresses — could change, and asked for comments.One man had bought a gas station in the early 1990’s just south of what he thought was the state line to take advantage of South Carolina’s significantly lower gas tax, as well as the ability to sell beer and fireworks. Unfortunately, the survey work showed conclusively that his pumps were in a part of North Carolina where gas is more expensive, beer sales are not allowed and fireworks are illegal. As he told commissioners in a public meeting, “Our business is going to be destroyed.”However, both states had pledged to cooperate in this endeavor, and they stuck to it. In 2016, nearly three centuries after surveyors began delineating the two Carolinas, the governments of North and South Carolina agreed on a boundary between the two states.21 homes switched states as a result of the change. 54 additional properties were affected, with the new border splitting their properties across the two states, in some cases the new border ran right through the middle of their home.A bill signed by the state’s Governors settled issues that affected those property owners, such as where their children will go to school. The legislation said that residents who moved from North Carolina to South Carolina will remain eligible for North Carolina in-state tuition for 10 years after the change, provided that they remain on the same property that was formerly in North Carolina. Residents whose homes moved from South Carolina to North Carolina are eligible for South Carolina in-state tuition for two years after the change.The gas station that was affected by the change and moved from South Carolina to North Carolina will continue to sell gas at South Carolina prices as well as to sell liquor and fireworks. This agreement will only change if the property and business are sold to a new owner. Both states will similarly enforce changes to the border for residents when any land is sold to new homeowners.The first link, the Charlotte Observer, has a very good 9-minute video about the border that is worth watching.https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politics-government/article79676647.htmlOpinion | How the Carolinas Fixed Their Blurred LinesUpdate 1: In response to a comment asking why the surveyors didn’t go back to the point of the original error and start over:Short answer: Surveyor James Cook partnered with Tacitus Gaillard on a proposal to make a map of the province of South Carolina, in response to a solicitation from the Commons House of Assembly. It was during these surveys, in 1768, that Cook discovered the error of the 1764 boundary survey. South Carolina’s Governor Lord Charles Montagu had initially been receptive to the North Carolina governor’s proposal to extend the 1764 boundary due west to the Cherokee boundary. However, his attitude quickly changed when he learned of Cook’s discovery of the error. For compensation for the loss of territory resulting from the 1764 boundary survey, Governor Montagu proposed running the boundary up the Catawba River past the 35th parallel and then west and sent James Cook to survey that region.I can find nothing that tells me why Governor Montagu didn't instruct surveyor Cook to start over again at the origin of the original error. If anyone has any information that answers that question, please post it in a comment.Update 2: A question was asked about Carowinds Theme Park and if the boundary changed at the park. Carowinds straddles the state line, but that section of the boundary remained where it was. The properties that were affected by the boundary change were slightly west of the theme park west of the Catawba River.Update 3: In response to a question about whether Federal Government approval was needed: No Federal Government or US Congressional approval was needed because the official statement from both state governments was that this effort was reaffirming where the boundary was that was agreed to by both states in 1815. Thus, any “moving” of the boundary was putting the boundary back where it was agreed to in the 1815 survey.

How do you register a car without a title in North Carolina?Bring a Bill-of-Sale to DMV or AAA Auto Club showing or proving you own the car and a new Title or duplicate title will be issued to you.Something I learned; AAA Auto Club will only do ”Private Sales” registrations; AAA does not do “Dealer Sales”; for that you must go to a DMV.

Hey Tatiana!Very good question!I have a pretty good idea why… Let me tell you a little fun story about Senator and Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr.Burr sold off a significant percentage of his stocks, unloading between $582,029 and $1.56 million of his holdings on Feb. 13 in 29 separate transactions. eFD: HomeAs the head of the intelligence committee, Burr, a North Carolina Republican, has access to the government’s most highly classified information about threats to America’s security. His committee was receiving daily coronavirus briefings around this time, according to a Reuters story. U.S. spy agencies monitor coronavirus spread, concerns about India: sourcesAnd guess what! A week after Burr’s sales, the stock market began a sharp decline and has lost about 30% since. Perfect timing!Today, Thursday, Burr came under fire after NPR obtained a secret recording from Feb. 27, in which the lawmaker gave a VIP group at an exclusive social club a much more dire preview of the economic impact of the coronavirus than what he had told the public. Intelligence Chairman Raised Virus Alarms Weeks Ago, Secret Recording Shows Click the link and listen to the audio. It’s astonishing to put it mildly…Fun fact: Burr was one of just three senators who in 2012 opposed a bill that explicitly barred lawmakers and their staff from using nonpublic information for trades and required regular disclosure of those trades. In opposing the bill, Burr argued at the time that insider trading laws already applied to members of Congress. President Barack Obama signed the bill, known as the STOCK Act, that year. S.2038: An original bill to prohibit Members of Congress and employees of Congress from using nonpublic information derived from their official positions for personal benefit, and for other purposes.Stock transactions of lawmakers are reported in ranges. Burr’s Feb. 13 selling spree was his largest stock selling day of at least the past 14 months, according to a ProPublica review of Senate records. Unlike his typical disclosure reports, which are a mix of sales and purchases, all of the transactions were sales. eFD: HomeHis biggest sales included companies that are among the most vulnerable to an economic slowdown. He dumped up to $150,000 worth of shares of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, a chain based in the United States that has lost two-thirds of its value. And he sold up to $100,000 of shares of Extended Stay America, an economy hospitality chain. Shares of that company are now worth less than half of what they did at the time Burr sold.The assets come from accounts that are held by Burr, belong to his spouse or are jointly held. Senator Dumped Up to $1.6 Million of Stock After Reassuring Public About Coronavirus Preparedness — ProPublicaHere’s a fun chart for you to make things abundantly clear:Here's where the GOP Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Richard Burr, dumped stock: https://t.co/ch51Qxg631 pic.twitter.com/rO0tbzUZL0— Jon Ossoff (@ossoff) March 19, 2020To conclude: It really pays off holding an important position in the Senate, just ask Republican Senator Richard Burr… He needs to resign or even be locked up!EDIT: Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, has also been flagged by the press because she received intelligence briefings and then her husband sold stock. But that situation appears far less damning, as that stock was sold when share prices were falling, not before, and those prices haven't fallen much lower since. Also, more to the point, Feinstein wasn't cashing out while assuring the public that everything was going to be fine. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s Husband Sold a Biotech Stock Near Its 2020 Low
