Useful offices
Town and County responsibilities depend on the property’s actual location. Use the notice or property address when you call; the contacts below are routes to the right office, not a parcel-specific boundary determination.
Wilkes County · property appraisal, parcel information, and property-tax collections
Use the appraisal contact for assessed value and parcel questions. Contact collections for a property-tax balance or payment question; an assessed value and an unpaid-tax balance are different matters.
Appraisal: 336-651-7301 · collections: 336-651-7322 · 110 North Street, Wilkesboro, NC 28697.
Wilkes County · recorded deeds and land documents
Use the Register of Deeds for recorded deeds and other land documents. Those records are separate from a tax appraisal, an unpaid-tax account, and a court case or judgment.
336-651-7351 · 500 Courthouse Drive, Suite 1000, Wilkesboro, NC 28697.
Wilkes County · court contact for case, order, or judgment questions
If a court case, order, or judgment is part of the property question, contact the Clerk of Superior Court through the courthouse directory and ask which record or court division applies. A court record is not the same as a recorded deed.
Courthouse main telephone: 336-651-4400 · 500 Courthouse Drive, Wilkesboro, NC 28697.
Town of North Wilkesboro · in-town planning, zoning, inspections, and code complaints
For a property inside Town limits, contact Town staff about planning, zoning, building inspections, or a code complaint. The Town distinguishes its limits from the surrounding extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), so confirm which office serves the property address.
336-667-7129 · code complaints: ext. 3011 · building inspections: ext. 3009 · Town Hall, 832 Main Street, North Wilkesboro, NC 28659.
Wilkes County · county-side building inspections in the ETJ
Wilkes County handles building inspections in the Town’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ); Town staff handle inspections inside Town limits. The actual boundary matters, so confirm the jurisdiction for the property address before relying on either office.
336-651-7303 · County Office Building, 110 North Street, Room 311, Wilkesboro, NC 28697.
Helpful local rule
North Carolina charges an excise tax 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. For a $100,000 sale, that is $200. State law assigns payment to the seller before the deed is recorded at the county Register of Deeds. Some transfers are exempt, including gifts and transfers under a will or by inheritance; check the statute for the full list.
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. Ask your closing professional to show the transaction’s figures and any applicable exemption.
