Mecklenburg County, NC – Real estate and personal property tax payments must be paid or postmarked by the United States Postal Service (USPS) on or before Jan. 5, 2022, to avoid interest charges. Tax bills were mailed to the owner of record at the address shown on the tax record as of Jan. 1, 2021. If mailing your payment, please ensure that envelopes are hand stamped at the USPS counter with a January 5 (or earlier) postmark to ensure interest charges are not applied. Mail that is metered but not postmarked by January 5 will not be exempted from such charges.
Tax payments can be made online, by phone, by mail, or in person. Property owners whose payments are received or postmarked after Jan. 5, 2022 will be charged two percent interest for the month of January, and an additional three-quarters of one percent every month thereafter until paid. There are four ways to pay your tax bill:
