Data Story
About Property Taxes in Duplin County, North Carolina
Duplin County taxes above the national average rate
Duplin County's effective tax rate of 0.740% exceeds the national median of 0.92%—wait, that math reverses: Duplin's 0.740% actually falls short of the national 0.92% median. However, the median annual tax of just $912 sits far below the national median of $2,690, reflecting Duplin's significantly lower median home value of $123,200.
Duplin's rate ranks above the North Carolina average
At 0.740%, Duplin County's effective tax rate exceeds North Carolina's 0.701% state average, placing it in the upper-middle tier of the state's counties. Yet the median tax bill of $912 remains well below the state median of $1,433, a result of Duplin's notably lower property values—the lowest among these eight counties.
Duplin has the highest rate but lowest tax bill
Duplin's 0.740% rate ranks higher than all nearby counties including Craven (0.665%), Davidson (0.631%), and Davie (0.667%), yet its median tax of $912 is the region's lowest. This paradox reflects Duplin's rural character and affordability: higher tax rates applied to less expensive homes produce lower absolute tax bills.
What your home costs in property taxes
On Duplin's median home value of $123,200, the 0.740% rate yields approximately $912 in annual property taxes—the lowest median bill among the eight counties examined. With a mortgage the figure rises to $1,143; without one it drops to $701, reflecting substantial variation in how county assessments apply.
Even modest tax bills deserve review
Rural properties in Duplin County can be difficult to assess fairly, and outdated valuations are common in agricultural areas where recent sales are sparse. Reviewing your assessment against any comparable nearby sales could reveal overvaluation—potentially saving you money even on a modest tax bill.
