********************************************************

Foreclosures - There are still great deals out there!  Do your homework up front because there may not be time to do later.  Always, always get a home inspection and any other inspections deemed necessary.  Banks that own these properties are doing very little if anything at all towards repairs or inspections.  When they say "as is" that is what they mean.   Seek out experience real estate agents, like myself that can help you through the foreclosure process. 

If over 65 years of age or older, veteran or disable...you could qualify for real estate property tax exemption.  Contact your local county revenue department for information.  (Go to my web links for county tax offices in the state)

How to Calculate Taxes – Tax rates are calculated against each $100 in value.

Example 1: A single-family home with a value of $200,000. The property is located in the Town of Apex but not a Fire or Special District.

Wake County rate = .678 Town of Apex rate = .40 Combined Rate = 1.078 Recycling Fee = $20

• Property value divided by 100: $200,000/100 = 2,000
• 2,000 x 1.078 = $2,156
• Plus $20 Recycling fee = $2,176 estimated annual tax
