Thanks. Answers a lot of my research questions without having to search all over.

I see now why my uncle suggested not buying in Mecklenburg due to the tax rate.

How come for Mecklenburg County it says .8368, yet this site says you would need to divide your tax value by 100 and then multiply by 1.0136?

Am I missing something?

Charlotte Property Tax Rate for 2006

Calculating the property tax rate

If your property is in Charlotte, to calculate your 2006 city/county taxes, take the tax value of your property, divide by 100 and multiply by 1.2568. Owners of a $150,000 house will have an annual city/county tax bill of $1,885.20

If your property is in Mecklenburg County and not in Charlotte or other town,
take the value of your property, divide by 100 and multiply by 1.0136. Owners of a $150,000 house will have an annual county tax bill of $1,520.40.

Yes

Police protection!!

You pay approx .18 for police services, if you are not in a city, township etc.

Ok, so the 1.0136 number I was using for my spreadsheets before is more accurate.

Thanks.

Is that standard for most areas outside the city?

I'm looking generally northwest of the downtown area.

Yes it is, for instance I live in Charlotte and I have a Charlotte postal address however I do not pay city of charlotte taxes, in time I will be annexed but not until June 2011 at the earliest.

The only was to be exact would be to know excatly where you where looking.

I had a different question but then I saw the taxes calculated. So you don't figure out the taxes by dividing 100 into $150,000 than multiplying that by
.8368= $1,255 for the year? Where does this number come from 1.0136 ?

I was considering moving to North Carolina from Florida and want to be sure I'm figuring out the property tax correctly?
Thanks

You're pretty much in the same boat as me. Either way, it's definitely cheaper than Florida for both of us.

Default huntersville schools

Great info as always Sunny.

Can you please tell me about the schools serving Huntersville. Are they all Meck. county schools? I looked at some of them on greatschools.net that serve some neighborhoods I was looking at and they don't get good reviews. Why is that? It seems they have good diversity etc. Some parents even reviewed the schools and said the children are out of control. This was surprising since it seems that there are many nice neighborhoods in the area.

Any info that anyone has on this is appreciated.

Can anyone give me more information on insurance rates for houses in the Charlotte/Mecklenburg area?

Like what's the average cost for a 3/2 home? A general range of numbers would be fine.

Also, are there are any other monthly/yearly fees that need to be considered in a house payment spreadsheet? Waste disposal, etc.

Obviously HOA's if those apply, but any others that are mandatory?
