Convenience fees are added by the payment processor and are not collected by Brunswick County.

Tax bills, due dates, and delinquent taxes

Real and personal property tax bills are usually mailed in July or August. For the listed tax year, taxes are due and payable on September 1, 2025, and may be paid without interest through January 5, 2026.

After January 5, 2026, 2% interest is added. If the bill remains unpaid, an additional 3/4% interest is added on February 1 and each month after that.

Brunswick County Collections handles current and delinquent county taxes, occupancy taxes, beer and wine licenses, assessments, fees, tax certifications, mobile home moving permits, and general collection questions.

If you need a payment arrangement, call the Collections Division at (910) 253-2729.

Property records, bill images, and tax rates

The county provides property and tax information tools for record review. The Property Record Card search can help users review public tax information for a property, but it is not a certification of taxes paid or currently due.

Bill images are duplicate representations of original tax bills and may not show additional interest that accrued after the bill was issued.

For rate research, the Brunswick County tax rates page lists current and past county, municipal, and district rates. The Brunswick County ad valorem property tax rate for Fiscal Year 2025, July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, is 0.3420, or 34.20 cents per $100 of value.

Real property value, revaluation, and appeals

Real property includes land, buildings, structures, improvements, and permanent fixtures. Brunswick County revalues real property every 4 years. The current valuation is effective January 1, 2023, and the next county-wide revaluation is scheduled to take effect January 1, 2027.

Property owners may appeal county-assessed real estate values beginning January 1 each year. The deadline is the day the Board of Equalization and Review adjourns, which can be as early as April 1.

Appeals may be based on a value that is significantly higher or lower than actual fair market value, or a value that is inconsistent with similar properties. The county does not consider percentage change from a previous value, area average changes, or financial ability to pay as valid appeal reasons.

For appeal details, use the county’s Request Appeal information.

Tax relief and mailing address changes

Some property owners may qualify for property tax relief programs, including the Elderly or Disabled Homestead Exclusion, Disabled Veteran Homestead Exclusion, Homestead Circuit Breaker, and Present Use Classification for agricultural, horticultural, and forestland.

The Tax Relief page explains these programs and directs users to application resources.

To update the mailing address for tax bills, use the county’s Change Mailing Address form, or send the request to the Tax Office by mail or fax. Motor vehicle tax bill addresses must be changed through the Department of Motor Vehicles.
