North Carolina's Tag & Tax Together program combines the billing of annual vehicle registration fees and vehicle property taxes so that they can be paid together.
Please note: Inspection fees are still paid to the inspection station.
While a vehicle’s registration renewal fee remains the same each year, the property tax may vary. The N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles’
vehicle property tax calculator can provide an estimated amount of the property tax, but it should not be used to determine the actual bill, which is determined based on other factors.
Registration fees and property taxes can be paid at any
NCDMV license plate agency, by mail or
online.
Although NCDMV accepts the payments, questions about vehicle property taxes should be directed to the tax assessor in the county where the vehicle is registered.
