NC County Property Tax Tracker

Property tax data across all 100 counties in North Carolina.

Property tax is one of the largest lines in a North Carolina operating budget, and right now it is unusually hard to predict. Values are jumping at revaluation, counties are setting their FY2026-27 rates, and the legislature is moving on bills that could change the rules.

This tracker covers FY2026-27 county tax rates, scheduled revaluations (on four-year and eight-year cycles), revenue-neutral rate calculations, and historical Board of County Commissioners decisions across all 100 NC counties. It is built for commercial real estate underwriters, property owners, appraisers, and county finance staff who need a single source of truth across Mecklenburg, Wake, Guilford, Buncombe, New Hanover, Durham, Forsyth, and every other NC county.

Frequently asked questions

State law requires reappraisal at least every 8 years. Most urban counties (Mecklenburg, Guilford, Buncombe) are on a 4-year cycle, and Wake County is shifting to a 2-year cycle after its 2027 revaluation.

What is a "revenue-neutral" property tax rate?

The rate that would produce the same total revenue as the prior year after a revaluation. NC counties must publish it, but are not required to adopt it.
