Whether you're considering relocating from one side of the Triangle to the other, or coming to Raleigh from Texas, California, New York, or elsewhere, you've probably wondered what the yearly property taxes might be for your new home.

How Do I Figure Out What These Wake County 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 Wake County: Angier, Apex, Cary, Clayton, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Holly Springs, Knightdale, Morrisville, Raleigh, Rolesville, Wake Forest, Wendell, and Zebulon.
Special Tax Rates in Apex
Properties not located within city limits (a municipality) may be subject to a fire district tax rate and the RTP special district tax rate in addition to county taxes.
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 RTP special district tax.
What County Will My New Home Be In?
When looking at properties, don't take the city address for granted - you could be in a different county, with different tax rates, depending on where exactly the property is located.
Apex could be in Wake County or Chatham County.
Check the Address of Your New Apex Home
If there's a particular home that you're considering, you can go directly to the Wake County Tax Records site, type in the address, and see the assessed value of the property. The reassessments have just been completed, though, and Wake County is not noted for 100% accuracy in assessing the values of property, so what you see may be either higher or lower than the asking value of the property. If there is a discrepancy, don't be afraid to ask your real estate agent to pull comps for you!
If your address falls in Chatham County, you can also visit the Chatham County Tax Records site for updated tax information.
