Start with the address

Check the county before choosing an office

The City of Fayetteville boundary GIS intersects Cumberland and Hoke County. The 2025 Census Fayetteville- place boundary intersects Cumberland County only. Because these official map products differ on the Hoke overlap, neither one settles the county or court route for a specific parcel. Confirm the address with the responsible local office before relying on a county tax, deed, or court record.

Fayetteville-area offices: match the record to the task

A property assessment or unpaid tax balance, a recorded deed, and a court judgment are different records. Start with the office that handles that record and have the address, parcel number, or notice ready.

Cumberland County Tax Administration

Cumberland County · property assessments and real-estate tax information

Start here for Cumberland County assessed-value, parcel, and real-estate tax questions. Ask the office separately about an assessed value and any unpaid balance on the property-tax account; tax records are not deed records or court judgments.

North Carolina sale fact

What the state excise tax means when a deed transfers a house

North Carolina charges an excise tax on conveyances when a deed transfers real estate: $1 for each $500 of the price or value, with any part of $500 counted as a full $500. State law places payment on the seller before the Register of Deeds records the deed. Some transfers are exempt, including certain gifts, transfers under a will or by inheritance, and transfers where the buyer pays nothing. Ask the closing professional to calculate the amount for your transaction and check whether an exemption applies.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina's excise tax on conveyances. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Fayetteville home seller resource questions

Which office handles a Cumberland County property value or unpaid tax balance?

Start with Cumberland County Tax Administration at 910-678-7507 for county assessment and real-estate tax questions. Ask separately about assessed value and any unpaid balance on the property-tax account. If the address is confirmed in Hoke County, contact Hoke County to confirm its tax office rather than assuming the Cumberland route applies.

Where can I look for a deed or other recorded land document?

For a Cumberland County property, contact the Register of Deeds Land Records line at 910-678-7773 or use its official location page above. Deed records are different from tax records and court judgments. Confirm the county for the actual address before using a county land-record office.

Which Clerk of Court should I contact about a judgment or court case?

Use the county and court identified by the actual case notice or record. Cumberland County lists its Clerk of Superior Court at 910-475-3000; if the matter is confirmed in Hoke County, the Hoke Clerk line is 910-878-4100. The city-boundary maps do not decide court venue.

Why does this page mention both Cumberland and Hoke County?

The City of Fayetteville boundary GIS intersects Cumberland and Hoke County, while the 2025 Census Fayetteville-place boundary intersects Cumberland County only. Those map products differ on the Hoke overlap, so confirm the county for a specific address with the responsible local office before following a tax, deed, or court route.

How does North Carolina’s excise tax on conveyances work?

North Carolina charges $1 for each $500, or part of $500, of the price or value when a deed transfers real estate. State law places payment on the seller before the deed is recorded, subject to exemptions. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including North Carolina’s excise tax on conveyances; your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Do I need to repair or clean out a house before asking for an offer?

No. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
