2011 Durham County, NC Property Taxes

How Much Does it Cost to Live in Durham County, NC?

When thinking about buying a new home in Durham County, you'll want to know how much Durham County property taxes cost.

Durham, known as the "City of Medicine," is home to the Durham Bulls and Duke University. Durham also serves as one of the corners of the Research Triangle Park, along with Chapel Hill and Raleigh.

Find Out What District Your New Durham Home is Located In

Ask your real estate agent what district number the property resides in.  You could have a Raleigh, Durham, Eno, Mangum, or Chapel Hill street address within Durham County. 

Click on the link below to enter the address and find out the tax district:  Durham County Address Check for Property Tax Rate.

This chart shows the 2011/2012 Durham County property tax rates.  If you are relocating to a home inside a town, the tax rate will be slightly higher.  If your new home will be outside of town boundaries, the tax rate can be extremely low.

Check the Tax Rate Tables for the Property Tax Rate for Your District or Town in Durham County NC

The county rate gets combined with either the fire district rate or the town rate, depending on where the home for sale is located.  

OK - But What Will I Actually Pay in Durham County Property Taxes?

What do all those little numbers mean?  It's actually not as hard as it looks.

1. Take the assessed value of the property.
2. Divide by 100.
3. Multiply by the tax rate.

This will give you the yearly tax amount, per 2011/2012 rates.

And just to give you an idea, here's a table of sample yearly tax payments for different sample assessed home values.

You can also visit the Durham County Property Tax page to get the most up-to-date tax tables or tax information for the City of Durham. 

As you can see, a City of Durham location will be the most expensive property tax location to live in Durham County, following closely by the City of Chapel Hill.

How Do I Find Out the Assessed Value of My Durham County Home?

If there's a particular home that you're considering, you can go directly to the Durham County Tax Administration Records site, type in the address, and see the assessed value of the property.  

What if the Assessed Value is Different From the Sales Price?

If there is a discrepancy between the assessed value and the asking price of the home or lot, don't be afraid to ask your real estate agent to pull comps for you.  Assessed values are not always aligned well with market values, as assessments are often made several years apart. 

All North Carolina counties are required to conduct a revaluation at least once every eight years. Durham County was reassessed on January 1, 2008, and the new assessed values went into affect in Summer 2008.

2011 Cumberland County Property Tax Guide

How Much do Property Taxes Cost in Cumberland County, NC?

Whether you're considering relocating from the other side of the country or the other side of the Triangle, you've probably wondered what the yearly property taxes might be for your new home.

Cumberland County is located below Harnett County, about an hour south of Raleigh.

Towns within Cumberland County are particularly popular with families looking to stay near Fort Bragg and Fayetteville, or to have affordable country living just a short hop from big city life in the Triangle. 

Cumberland County encompasses Falcon, Fayetteville, Eastover, Godwin, Manchester, Spring Lake, and Wade.

How Much are 2011 Property Taxes in Cumberland County, NC?

Here are the 2011 rates, by town within Cumberland County.  To get the total property tax rate for a town, simply add the county tax to the town tax.  For example, Hope Mills has a town rate of 0.42, and the Cumberland County rate is 0.74.  Add the two together - the total tax rate for Hope Mills, NC is 1.160.

How Do I Figure Out What These Cumberland County NC Property Tax Numbers Mean?

It's not as confusing as it looks.  The tax rates are based on the assessed value of the home, not the asking price. 

• Divide the assessed value by 100.

• Multiply the result by the combined rate on the right side of the table.

• The result will be your yearly property tax bill, as of 2010. 

This table gives sample property tax bills for all the cities in Cumberland County, such as Falcon, Fayetteville, Eastover, Godwin, Manchester, Spring Lake, and Wade.

There is no guarantee that tax rates will remain the same - check the Cumberland County Property Tax Page for most recent information.

Where Should I Live to Get the Lowest Property Tax Rate?

Your tax bill can be lower if your home or property is not actually within a municipality, or town.  If this is the case, you'll pay just the County rate, plus most likely a fire district tax and/or the special district tax. 

Check the Address of Your New Cumberland County Home

If there's a particular home that you're considering, you can go directly to the Cumberland County Tax Records Site, type in the address, and see the assessed value of the property.   If there is a discrepancy, don't be afraid to ask your real estate agent to pull comps for you!

The More Windows, the Better?? - NC Custom Home Builder Tips

The Pros and Cons of Choosing a New Custom Home with More Windows 

Ever wonder how many windows your new home should have?

Here are three pros and cons of adding lots more windows to your new home, or choosing a floor plan with many more windows than average:

Pros of Adding More Windows to your New Home:

1. More Natural Light/Brighter Rooms
2. Plenty of fresh air
3. More visually appealing home exterior

Cons of Adding Extra Windows:

1. Heating and cooling energy loss
2. Less wall space for furniture/art placement
3. Potentially leads to a limited budget for more specialized windows with unique patterns/angles
4. More opportunities for furnishings to fade
5. More window treatments required 
6. More expensive!

Tips when Designing Your Home with Your Custom Builder:

• Many (but not all) custom home builders will allow you to change window sizes.  Even widening or lengthening an existing window may give you the light you're looking for.
• "Specialty" windows are much more costly than standard windows.  Arches, half rounds, and huge picture windows have a lot of appeal - but you'll want to make sure this is something you can raise the budget for.
• Consider adding additional windows first to the rooms you'll be spending the most time in, like the Great Room.   Two or three windows is probably more than sufficient for each bedroom, where you'll spend most of your time in the evenings.
• Look at rooms that don't have any windows.   Redesigning the kitchen to add a single window over the sink may make a huge difference in the natural light in the room.
• Consider a sliding glass patio door in place of a single window and French door.   You'll add much more light.
• Ask your NC custom home builder what they think of the existing window sizes and placement - with years of experience, a good builder will be able to suggest some good solutions!

Historically low interest rates - we keep hearing the words, but what do they mean? Is there really that big of a difference when the rate goes up a few points? And what are interest rates doing now?

Interest Rate Trends 1963 to 2010

Without seeing this chart, it's hard to picture how truly compelling interest rates have been over the past year. 

The graph shows interest rate trends over the past 47 years - and it's obvious that rates are the lowest they're been for half a century!

How Much More Home Can a Lower Rate Buy?

The exact same home simply costs less when interest rates are lower. 

Here are sample principle and interest payments for the same $250,000 loan, at four different interest rates. 

• The same $250,000 home will cost $175,289 more at a 7.75% interest rate than at a 4.75% interest rate, over a 30 year period.
• The same $250,000 home will cost $479 more per month, or $5748 more per year, at a 7.75% interest rate than at a 4.75% interest rate.

Does a lower interest rate mean I can buy a different home than I could a few years ago?

Yes!  Here's an example.

At 4.75%, a $1300 monthly principle and interest payment can apply towards a home with a 20% higher price tag than a $1300 payment with a 6.75% interest rate.

The same $1800 monthly payment can apply towards a $250,000 or a $345,000 home, depending on the interest rate.

Interest rates are still incredibly low right now, but they are creeping back upwards from the historical lows. 

Will we see rates this low again in our lifetime?

Based on past history, no.  This may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a home at some of the lowest interest rates ever seen.  Rates have been rising steadily since hitting their lowest point in November 2010, but are still at historical lows. 

Check with your lender for today's rate, and learn how you can take advantage of this historical opportunity before rates continue to rise.
