July 25. Mecklenburg County will mail tax bills for real property, individual personal property, and business personal property by this coming Monday. Bills are due Sept. 1, and must be paid by Jan. 5 2024 to avoid interest.

For properties under appeal, the tax bills will be subsequently mailed. Taxpayers who appeal their tax values are encouraged to pay on time to avoid interest charges.

Any taxpayer who may have difficulty paying their bill is encouraged to contact the Office of the Tax Collector (mecknc.gov) in August.

Tip: Don’t wait until December or after the bill is delinquent to express concern about ability to pay.

For those with mortgage escrow accounts, tax bills are sent directly to the mortgage holder for payment, with the owner receiving a property tax notification from the Office of the Tax Collector.
