Property taxes for 2020 have been due for a while, but the last day to pay without penalty was today (January 5).
Starting January 6th, two percent (2%) interest begins on unpaid taxes per North Carolina General Statute.
There is an online payment option by credit card, with a fee, and if your bank or card provider allows a large enough transaction to submit the payment. The address online is ccpaymentservice.com. Then, you fill in the blanks and provide a card number. You are warned about the fee prior to hitting submit.
You can also pay by phone at 888-571-6087.
Vance County has provided extra warnings on its web page too, online at https://www.vancecounty.org/departments/tax-overview/.
The page reads, “ATTENTION TAXPAYERS: In light of the current health crisis, we urge taxpayers who traditionally pay taxes in person during December and early January to pay: by mail 122 Young St., Ste E, Henderson NC 27536; by credit/debit card (processing fees applied); or call 1-888-571-6087; or by drop box located in the hallway outside our office. Since we are allowing only three people in the office at a time, this will avoid sizable wait times and also help us avoid close gatherings of people. In office visit, you must have on a face covering.”
