North Carolina Property Tax

The property tax in North Carolina is a locally assessed tax, collected by the counties. The North Carolina Department of Revenue does not send property tax bills or collect property taxes. For almost all the segments of the property tax, January 1 is the tax lien date. In other words, an individual owning property as of that date is liable for property taxes in the county where the property is located. The primary exception to this rule is motor vehicle property tax, which is reviewed in the Types of Property To Be Taxed section. Source
