The director of finance may require documentation of the above or additional evidence of residence in the County from a property owner applying for an exemption or from an owner as evidence of continued qualification for an exemption. Failure to respond fully to the director's request, or in the event the director receives satisfactory evidence that a claimant occupies a permanent home outside the County or there is documented evidence the claimant resides outside of the County for more than one hundred sixty-five calendar days, shall be deemed grounds for denying a claim for exemption or disallowing an existing exemption.
