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 $.15 per each $100 of assessed value. Taxes
are due September 1 and become delinquent on January 6.
Stormwater fees will be included on the tax bill beginning this year at a flat rate of $42 for residential and $200 for commercial. These fees are due Septmber 1 and become delinquent after January 6.
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 side door at town
hall. ***Now Available*** You can now use credit/debit cards to pay your taxes online at https://www.paybill.com/indiantrail 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 usually 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 excrow account exists. If the mortgage company changes, the homeowner should contact town hall with that information. The property owner, not the mortgage company, is penalized if the bill isn’t paid.
