Property tax in Yadkin County, North Carolina

Who sends the property tax bill in Yadkin County, and how do you pay it?

The bill comes from the Yadkin County Tax Department. The value it is based on is set by a separate office, the Yadkin County Tax Department, Tax Appraisal, which is who to ask if the value looks wrong. For how to look up and pay the bill, go to the county's own payment information.

The bill carries a $76 solid waste fee per household ($38 for households with the state's elderly or disabled exclusion) on top of the property tax. Property inside Boonville, East Bend, Jonesville or Yadkinville also owes that town's tax rate on top of the county rate, and the county sets a separate fire district tax rate for each of its fire districts; the county's pages do not say whether the town tax comes on the county bill. The tax office is at 110 East Elm Street in Yadkinville, across the street from the county courthouse.

When are property taxes due in Yadkin County?

For the 2026 bill, Yadkin County has one due date: January 5, 2027. State law makes 2026 taxes due September 1, 2026 and payable without interest through January 5, 2027, a Tuesday. The county has not posted its own 2026 notice of these dates; its earlier notices follow the same September 1 and January 5 schedule.

Interest starts January 6, 2027, not September 1. State law sets it at 2% for January 6 through February 1, then 3/4% for each month after that until the bill is paid.
