North Carolina boasts low real estate taxes in the country - and for the quality of life in NC, the value you get for your real estate tax dollar is extremely high. For example, a house that was built in 2006 in Pinehurst in a very nice community on a small lake sold recently for $580,000. The annual taxes for that property in 2088 will be about $4,600. The house has about 4,300 square feet. Here's another example - a house that sold in Southern Pines in an older, well establised neighborhood in Southern Pines recently sold for $275,000. The taxes for that house in 2008 will be approximately $2,550; and the house was a little over 2,000 square feet. These are approximate numbers, but they are pretty close.

The figures listed above inlcude all municipal and county taxes. I am sure that there are places with slightly lower taxes, but these are surely on the low end. Better yet, the quality of life, especially in the Moore County communities of Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen, Carthage, Cameron, Seven Lakes, Whispering Pines, etc. Just an hour South of the Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill area, Moore County is a great place for families or retirees.
