Charlotte housing market
The 0.88% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Charlotte and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide North Carolina average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Charlotte buyers. Many Charlotte properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $150/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
