Tax Rate Survey
As County Commissioners pass their budgets and set property tax rates prior to the start of a new fiscal year, the NCACC collects the tax rates set by all 100 counties. In addition to the tax rate, the Tax Rate Survey includes the revenue neutral tax rate (if the county underwent a revaluation) and state maps to display rates by county.
These figures include base tax rates plus any countywide applied special rates. Revenue neutral rates are also reported.
Fifteen counties had a tax rate change in 2020-21, with four counties increasing and eleven counties decreasing their rate. Twenty-six counties had a revaluation in 2019, and 12 counties have one in 2020.
The average property tax rate is now .6760, compared to .6785 last year, a 0.35% decrease statewide.
