Senior, disabled and disabled-veteran property-tax relief
Relief applications belong to the Tax Assessor side, not the payment counter. The 2026 county page lists these key routes:
Age 65+ or totally/permanently disabled, with 2025 income not over $38,800. The exclusion is the greater of $25,000 or 50% of the appraised value of the permanent residence.
Up to $45,000 of appraised value for a qualifying honorably discharged disabled veteran or eligible unmarried surviving spouse; the county lists no age or income limit.
Annual application required. It limits taxes to an income-based percentage but deferred taxes remain a lien and can become due after a disqualifying event.
Registered vehicle tax is paid through NCDMV, not the county payment counter
North Carolina’s Tag & Tax Together program combines registered-vehicle property tax with the annual registration renewal. NCDMV says vehicle tax and registration are paid together online, at a license-plate agency or by mail.
