Final Tax Rates percent is a combination of county tax and town tax if a property is in a town area or just the county rate in outside all towns.
The total tax for the year is computed by multiplying the Tax Rate (combined for property inside a city limit) by the Tax Appraised Value for the property location.
For example a $100,000 home inside Pinehurst will have a tax exposure of (.48+.28+.03)% x 100,000 = $790
*ACTUAL AMOUNTS MAY VARY from the above estimates. It is highly recommended to research update rates through the applicable governing body or municipality before for accuracy before purchasing any real estate.
Real estate property tax in North Carolina is a locally assessed tax, collected by the counties and towns. Real Estate taxes in NC are very low compared to other states. Tax rates are set by the Board of Commissioners in each County and by the Town Council in each town.
About Tax Appraised Values: The tax office appraises property every 4 years. Tax appraisals are usually much less than the actual market value of property. For example, we looked at house in Pinehurst that would sell for about $310,000. The "appraised value" for tax purposes is actually only $237,000. There is no specific reason that we know of for the difference, which is sometimes more pronounced and sometimes less pronounced. There is simply no formula for determining the Tax Appraised Value based on actual market value. All we know for sure is that it is always less than actual market value.
About Tax Rates: Tax rates are a combination of county tax and town tax. Tax rates for 2006 for all of the towns in Moore County are shown in the table below. If property is not located within any town limits, taxes are slightly lower - there is no town tax, but there is a partial tax imposed by the closest town to cover fire and rescue services originating from that town.
