How it works

Enter the property’s assessed value and your combined local property tax rate. In North Carolina, local rates are commonly published as dollars per $100 of value. If you have a per-$100 rate, convert it to a decimal rate by dividing by 100 before entering it here. The estimate multiplies assessed value by the decimal rate you provide.

Examples

Example conversion: if the combined rate is 0.8685 per $100 of value, the equivalent decimal rate is 0.008685. With an assessed value of 350,000, the estimate would be 350,000 × 0.008685 = 3,039.75.

Limitations and important notes

This calculator provides an estimated property tax, not an official tax bill. Wake County and local jurisdictions adopt rates annually, and totals can vary by municipal boundaries and district overlaps. Exemptions, exclusions, and eligibility-based programs are not automatically applied.
