The Tax Department lists, assesses, and collects property taxes on over 24,000 real property parcels, and more than 2,000 businesses and personal property listings in Currituck County. It is the Tax Department’s responsibility to assure that all properties are assessed fairly and equitably.

We also collects the county occupancy (lodging) tax from hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, campgrounds, and vacation cottages. The department is also responsible for determining the amount of land transfer tax that is due when property is sold or leased.

A majority of Currituck County’s general fund comes from property taxes. Property owners each pay a share of the cost of County services by paying taxes proportional to the value of their property. Property taxes are based on the assessed:

  • Value of land,
  • Buildings,
  • Personal property.

The Tax Rate is the same for real estate as it is for personal property such as:

  • Vehicles,
  • Boats,
  • Business equipment.

  • Appraised Property Value– Also known as Actual or Fair Market Value, is the true market value of a property.
  • Assessed Property Value– The value as determined by the assessor and the value on which a property will be taxed. This value is the estimated actual value of a property on the date of the last county-wide revaluation. (If a property did not exist at the last revaluation its assessed value will be what the actual value would have been had it existed at the time of the last revaluation.
