What do property taxes pay for?When you call the police or fire department, play in the park, send your children to public school, check out a book at the library, or eat at an inspected restaurant, you are using services paid for by your property taxes. Your taxes also pay for services to help people move from welfare to work, protect children and senior citizens from abuse and neglect, protect our water and air from pollution, repair and build roads, and much more. Property taxes are the largest source of revenue to fund these services you count on every day. For more information about Mecklenburg County’s budget, the services funded by your property taxes, and links to municipal websites, visitwww.MeckNC.gov. For information about the budget for the City of Charlotte, visitwww.CharlotteNC.gov. Budget information for Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews,Mint Hill, and Pineville may be found on their respective websites.

What property is taxed?Property taxes are levied on real property, such as land and buildings; business personal property, including office equipment, machinery, computer equipment and others; registered motor vehicles; individual personal property, such as boats, unregistered vehicles, campers and others; and other property as permitted by North Carolina Law.

How much will I pay in taxes?The amount you pay is based on the assessed value of your property, the tax rate, and any other items included on the bill. The County Assessor assesses the value of all taxable property as of January 1st. The tax you pay is based on that value and the tax rate established by the elected city, county, or town officials. To calculate the taxes due, divide the assessed value by $100.00 and multiply the result by the tax rates. Also, add the fees charged to determine the total tax due. For example, the tax bill for a home assessed at $200,000 in value is $1,646.40 for County taxes and $977.40 for Charlotte taxes. Other charges, such as Solid Waste Fees, are added to the total due.

What are the Police and Fire Taxes?Property owners in unincorporated Mecklenburg County pay taxes for police services through the Law Enforcement Service District Tax and for fire protection, including emergency services, through the Fire Protection Service District Tax.
