Property Tax Calculation
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. State 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 Value
The Wake County Revenue 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.
Assessed Value
Property taxes are based on the assessed value of the property, which are calculated based on market values and a predetermined ratio. North Carolina General Statutes require that real estate be assessed at 100% of its market value as of January 1 of each reappraisal year.
Property Tax
Base tax is calculated by multiplying the assessed value with the corresponding tax rates and is an estimate of what an owner not benefiting from any exemptions would pay.
Current tax represents the amount the present owner pays including recycling fee.
Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs. For more information please visit the web pages of Wake County's County Revenue Department or look up this property's current valuation and tax situation.
