Woman sues to recoup thousands overpaid in taxes to Bladen County By Ann McAdams | March 4, 2021 at 1:48 PM EST - Updated March 4 at 5:18 PM
BLADEN COUNTY, N.C. (WECT) - She overpaid her property taxes by more than $7,000, due to a mistake made by the Bladen County Tax Department. But Regina Whitted says the county is refusing to give her a full refund, even though they admit the error was theirs.
Whitted has been engaged in a lawsuit against Bladen County since 2018. She owns 40 acres of property on the Bladen/Cumberland County line. The majority of the property is in Bladen County, but 11.45 acres is in Cumberland. According to the lawsuit, Whitted, who lives in Maryland, has been charged property taxes by both counties since purchasing the property in 1993.
