Useful offices
Raleigh’s municipal geography crosses the Wake–Durham county line. Use the exact property address and the record or notice to choose a county route. Property appraisal, tax balances, deeds, estate files, and court judgments are different tasks; a county link is an orientation, not a parcel-specific determination.
Wake County · estate information route
Use the Estates contact for questions about a Wake County estate record. Estate filings are separate from property appraisal, tax bills, recorded deeds, and civil court judgments.
Estates contact: (919) 792-4450.
Wake County · deeds and recorded real-estate records
Use this office for deed recording and real-estate-record questions. A recorded deed is not an assessment, tax balance, or court judgment.
Office location: 300 S. Salisbury St., Suite 1700, Raleigh, NC 27601.
Wake County · real-estate appraisal and property-tax bills
Start here for county real-estate appraisal, property information, or a tax-bill question. An assessed value and an unpaid tax balance are different from a deed or court judgment.
Durham County · estate information route
Use the county Estates route for a Durham County estate question. The court lists its courthouse in Durham; use the estate record and case information to ask about the correct file.
Durham County · deeds, land titles, and real-estate records
Use the Register of Deeds for deeds, land titles, and recorded real-estate documents. That record path is different from a tax account or a court judgment.
Durham County · real-property appraisal and tax collection
Use this department for real-property appraisal, property maps or ownership changes, and current or delinquent property-tax questions. Those records are separate from deeds and court judgments.
Wake or Durham County · use the court and case shown on the document
A court judgment is a court record, not a deed. Use the county and case information printed on the judgment or notice to find the appropriate court contact; the county Estates routes above are for estate matters.
North Carolina seller fact
North Carolina charges an excise tax when a deed transfers real estate: $1 for each $500 of the price or value, and any part of $500 counts as a full $500. That is $200 on a $100,000 sale. State law makes the seller responsible for paying the tax to the county Register of Deeds before the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, including gifts, transfers under a will or by inheritance, and transfers where the buyer pays nothing.
Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the taxable amount and any exemption for your transaction. 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.

Raleigh’s municipal geography crosses Wake and Durham counties. The county office links are orientation only; use the property address and the record or notice to identify the right county route.
Wake County Tax Administration handles real-estate appraisal and tax-bill questions in Wake County. Durham County Tax Administration handles real-property appraisal and current or delinquent tax questions in Durham County. An assessed value is not the amount of an unpaid tax bill.
Use the county Register of Deeds for a deed or other recorded real-estate document. A court judgment is a court record, so use the county and case information printed on that judgment or notice to find the court contact; do not treat it as a deed record.
Use the Estates route for the county connected to the estate record. Wake County lists an Estates contact at (919) 792-4450; Durham County publishes a separate Estates page. Use the actual estate record and court information when asking about the file.
For a taxable deed transfer, North Carolina charges $1 for each $500 of price or value, or any part of $500. State law makes the seller responsible for paying it to the county Register of Deeds before recording, 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.
