How Do I Know If I'm In Johnston County?

When looking at properties, don't take the city address for granted - you could be in a different county, with different tax rates, depending on where exactly the property is located.  Ask your agent to verify the actual address and county before you sign a contract.

Depending on the address, Clayton could be in Wake County or Johnston County.

How are Clayton property taxes assessed?

Property taxes are based on assessed value, not the price the home is sold for.  The assessed value you see may be either higher or lower than the asking value of the property - it really depends on how long ago the assessment was made, and what improvements have come to the area since the assessment (or what improvements are planned for the area).   If there is a discrepancy, don't be afraid to ask your real estate agent to pull comps for you!

Every North Carolina county is required to assess values at least once every eight years.

Johnson County has just completed the most recent revaluation assessment, with new standards effective January 1, 2011, shown on the July 2011 tax bill. Visit the Johnston County revaluation webpage for more information on the assessment process.
