Useful local offices

Start with the office that handles your question

Keep the property address, parcel information, and any bill, notice, or case number in front of you. Assessment, tax balances, deeds, and court records are separate questions; use the contact that matches the record.

Onslow County Assessor

Onslow County · property assessment and valuation

Contact the Assessor about assessed value, parcel assessment, or property-valuation records. An assessment is not a current tax balance or payoff.

Onslow County Register of Deeds

Onslow County · recorded deeds and land documents

Use the Register of Deeds for recorded deeds and other land-record questions. A deed search is not a search for a court judgment or a property-specific title conclusion.

City of Jacksonville Planning and Permitting

City of Jacksonville · planning, permits, and inspections

City Hall, 815 New Bridge Street, Jacksonville, NC 28541 · 910-938-5232.

City of Jacksonville Zoning and Code Enforcement

City of Jacksonville only · zoning and code-enforcement questions

Contact this City office about a Jacksonville code, zoning, or property-maintenance notice. Check the exact address and case with the City; a Jacksonville mailing label alone does not establish City jurisdiction.

City Hall, 815 New Bridge Street, Jacksonville, NC 28541 · 910-938-5236, extension 5.

Unpaid property taxes

Use the current tax bill or notice to identify its issuing office and ask for the parcel’s current balance and payment instructions. The Assessor handles valuation questions; an assessed value is not a tax payoff.

Deeds and court judgments are different records

Ask the Register of Deeds about recorded deeds and land documents. For a court judgment, use the court and case information on the judgment; a deed search does not answer a court-record question. A title professional can check how a record relates to a specific parcel.

Helpful local rules

Check the address and the closing costs

A Jacksonville mailing label does not set City jurisdiction

Census TIGERweb places the City of Jacksonville within Onslow County. A Jacksonville postal or mailing label alone does not show whether a parcel is inside the City boundary. Check the exact address with City mapping or the relevant local office before inferring City services, code jurisdiction, or City taxes.

North Carolina excise tax on conveyances

North Carolina charges $1 for each $500 of a deed’s price or value, and any fraction of $500 counts as a full $500. That is $200 on a $100,000 taxable sale. State law assigns payment to the seller before the deed is recorded, though some transfers are exempt. Ask the closing professional to confirm the taxable amount and 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.

Jacksonville and Onslow County resource questions

Which Onslow County office handles an assessed value?

The Onslow County Assessor handles property-assessment and valuation questions. The N.C. Department of Revenue directory lists 910-989-2200. An assessed value is not a current tax balance or payoff.

Where do I ask about unpaid property taxes?

Use the current tax bill or notice to identify the office that issued it, then ask that office for the parcel’s current balance and payment instructions. An assessment record does not show what is currently due.

Where do I look for a deed or a court judgment?

The Onslow County Register of Deeds is the route for recorded deeds and land documents. A court judgment is a court record, not a deed; use the court and case information shown on the judgment rather than treating a deed search as a judgment search. A title professional can check how a record relates to a particular property.

Who handles an Onslow County estate filing?

The N.C. Judicial Branch lists Estates and Special Proceedings through the Onslow County Clerk of Superior Court as appointment-only. Call 910-478-3604 and have the estate information available. The estate record and any applicable orders determine the next step.

Which City office handles permits or code questions?

For a property within City of Jacksonville jurisdiction, contact Planning and Permitting about permits and inspections, or Zoning and Code Enforcement about a code or zoning matter. Check the exact address with City mapping or the relevant office; a Jacksonville mailing label alone does not establish City jurisdiction.

How is North Carolina excise tax on conveyances figured?

The rate is $1 for each $500 of price or value, and any fraction of $500 counts as a full $500. The statute assigns payment to 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.

Does a Jacksonville mailing address prove the house is inside the City?

No. A Jacksonville postal or mailing label alone does not establish a parcel’s City boundary. Check the address with the City’s Online Mapping or Ward Maps, or confirm with the relevant local office before assuming City services, code rules, or City taxes apply.
