All Indian Trail residents pay both city and county property taxes
In North Carolina, property taxes are levied annually against all real property, business equipment and vehicles (including boats) by each municipality and each county.
PAYING YOUR TAX BILL -
The current tax rate is 18-1/2¢ per each $100 of assessed value. Taxes are due September 1 and become delinquent after January 5.
Stormwater fees are now included on your tax bill (as of 2008) at the following residential rates:
| Residential Rate | |
| Tier 1: less than 2,000 sq ft |
$3.54 per month/$42.48 per year
|
| Tier 2: more than 2,000 sq ft |
$4.24 per month/$50.88 per year
|
For non-residential properties, the impervious area was measured from a sample of single family residential parcels within the town and an average was calculated. This average is referred to as the equivalent residential unit (ERU) and represents an impervious area of 2,060 square feet. A set rate of $2.70 per ERU per month will be charged on non-residential properties.
Stormwater fees are due September 1 and become delinquent after January 5.
Taxes can be mailed to PO Box 2430, Indian Trail, NC 28079 or paid at town hall from 9am until 5pm Monday through Friday. Also, there is a depository for after-hours payment located by the front door at Town Hall. ***Now Available*** You can now use credit/debit cards to pay your taxes online at http://wipp.edmundsassoc.com/Wipp600/ or by calling 1-866-440-5242. Please note a convenience fee will be charged by a third party for using this service.
When making your payment, please be sure to send the bottom portion of your tax bill or write your account number on the check.
Taxes cover the fiscal year beginning July 1 through June 30 of each year as required by state law. Some financial institutions and others compute taxes on a calendar year basis.
Tax bills are mailed in late summer each year. If you or your mortgage company does not receive a tax bill by September 1, please call town hall.
Taxes are due on September 1 of each fiscal year but can be paid through January 5 without penalty. Interest on delinquent taxes is 2% after January 5 and ¾ of 1% each month thereafter.
PROPERTY OWNERS WITH MORTGAGES
Many homeowners with a mortgage have funds held in escrow by their mortgage company to pay property taxes. The mortgage company usually pays the tax bill directly to the town, but mix-ups can occur. This year tax bills will not be mailed to the homeowner if an escrow account exists. If the mortgage company changes, the homeowner should contact the Tax Department at Town Hall with that information. The property owner, not the mortgage company, is penalized if the bill isn’t paid.
