When are property taxes due and are there interest and penalties for late payment?
Property tax payments for real and personal property taxes are due on September 1 of each year. Taxes not paid by January 5 accrue interest in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes. Interest begins to accrue against unpaid taxes at the rate of 2 percent on the sixth day of January following the date on which those taxes became due. Beginning on the first day of February and continuing thereafter, interest accrues at the rate of 0.75 percent per month, in addition to the 2 percent that accrued in January.
