Orange County NC Property Taxes - How to Find out How Much You'll Pay
Whether you're considering relocating from one side of the Triangle to the other, are relocating to Fort Bragg, or are coming to the Raleigh area from Florida, New Jersey, New York, or elsewhere, you've probably wondered what the yearly property taxes might be for your new home.
Orange County holds Chapel Hill, the third corner of the Triangle - which consists of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Orange County is divided nearly in half by Hwy 40, which runs east/west between Raleigh/Durham and Greensboro. Mebane and Hillsborough are "middle ground" points between the two areas. Chapel Hill and Carrboro are on the southern side of the county, just north of Chatham County. Find out more about Orange County here.

Here are the 2007 rates, by town and fire district. To get the total property tax rate, you'll first need to find out which district the home will be in.
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 rate on the right side of the table.
- The result will be your yearly property tax bill, as of 2007.
This table gives sample property tax bills for all the towns and fire districts in Orange County: Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, and all applicable fire districts. Your tax bill can be lower if your home or property is not actually within a municipality, or town.
For 2007, the district tax rates vary from .098 to .17655. Orange County has some of the highest property tax rates in the Triangle area. There is no guarantee that tax rates will remain the same - check the Orange County Property Tax page for most recent information.
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.
If there's a particular home that you're considering, you can go directly to the Orange County Tax Records site, type in the address, and see the assessed value of the property. 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.

Tracy - it takes some time to pull this kind of information together, but I feel it's helpful (hopefully) to those considering a new place to live. Thanks!
I am planning to buy a brand new colonial for $430,000.00 in December 2010. The address is 180 Dunderberg Road, Central Valley, NY 10917. How much property tax will I have to pay annually? Are there any other taxes I have to pay when I move there. I am currently living in Queens in New York City. I work in Manhattan.
Soon - you'll want to check with a real estate agent local to your specific area. I can email you information regarding any location in the Raleigh area, but New York is a bit out of my realm! Best of luck....
