Tax Bills

Annual Real Estate, Business & Personal Property Mailings

• Annual tax bills are normally mailed to property owners in July of each year. 
  • If you do not receive your tax statement by September 1, please contact our office to request a duplicate.
  • You may use our Online Tax Bill Search at https://services.wake.gov/ptax/main/billing/default.aspx or submit a request form at https://taxhelp.wake.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=43059980412564.
• Tax bills are not mailed to mortgage companies.
  • Most lenders electronically access and retrieve tax data directly from our system, eliminating the need for a paper copy of the bill.
• Real estate accounts that were paid through an escrow account in the prior year do not receive a bill in July.
•  Statements for real estate, business, and personal property can be printed using our Online Tax Bill Search.
• Annual tax bills are calculated for the fiscal taxing period of July 1 through June 30.
  • They are not based on a calendar year. (Example: A bill issued in July 2026 would cover the fiscal budgeting period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.)
  • Wake County Tax Administration is not authorized to prorate or calculate a reduced amount of taxes as the result of a sale.
• Property taxes not paid in full by January 5 following billing are assessed an interest charge of 2% for the month of January and an additional 3/4 of 1% each month thereafter.
