North Carolina Program Eligibility

There are three ways to apply for property tax relief: Elderly or Disabled Exclusion, the Disabled Veteran Exclusion, or the Circuit Breaker Property Tax Deferment. Each owner is eligible to receive only one program. Each owner (other than husband and wife) must file a separate application. Applicants who miss the June 1st deadline may still qualify for property tax relief. Your county assessor will make the final determination on a case-by-case basis.

Your state has active volunteers and organization partners that are available to help you complete your property tax relief application(s). If you’re interested in working with Property Tax-Aide support, visit our Contact us Page.

The information on this page is updated as new information becomes available by the relevant tax agencies.
