Sample Property Tax Report for a Forsyth County, NC property


Property Tax

Property tax in North Carolina is a locally assessed tax, collected by the counties. The state Department of Revenue is responsible for listing, appraising and assessing all real estate estate within the counties. North Carolina legislation requires each county to reappraise real property (land, buildings and other improvements) at least once every eight years. However, it also allows them to revalue more frequently at their discretion.


Market Values

The Forsyth County Tax Administration Department establishes the appraised value, also known as market value, for all taxable property within the county. Market value has been defined by The Supreme Court as the sale price of real estate as agreed upon between a willing buyer and willing seller, with neither being under duress to buy or sell.

Land value $31,500
Dwelling value + $133,136
Total market value* = $164,636

*When calculating totals, the county assessor may round values up or down to a maximum of about $50.


Assessed Values

The Forsyth County Tax Administration Department appraises and assesses all real estate in Forsyth County. North Carolina General Statutes require that real estate be assessed at 100% of its market value as of January 1 of each reappraisal year.

Land assessed value $31,500
Dwelling assessed value + $133,136
Total assessed value = $164,636

Exemptions and Taxable Value

Forsyth County provides taxpayers with several types of exemptions which may lower the property's tax bill. These are deducted from the assessed value to give the property's taxable value.

Unfortunately, no data regarding exemption was provided to us, therefore taxable value is equal to total assessed value.

Total taxable value = $164,636

Property tax

Property tax is calculated by multiplying the taxable value with the corresponding tax rates and represents the amount of what an owner NOT benefiting from tax exemptions would pay.
Nevertheless, actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs or to additional fees.
