North Carolina introduced the Tag & Tax Together program which combines the billing of annual vehicle registration fees and the vehicle property taxes so that they can be paid together.

When vehicle owners renew their registration and tags on an annual basis, owner are required to pay local property taxes along with their renewal. When property taxes are paid, the owner is prepaying taxes for the next 12 months. Vehicle owners will received one combine bill, known as an "Invitation to Renew", approximately 3 months prior to the expiration of their current registration. Registration fees and property taxes can be paid at any NCDMV license plate agency, by mail, or online.

For more information on the Tag and Tax program, please visit the NCDMV's website.

All 100 counties work in partnership with the NCDMV and N.C. Department of Revenue to utilize a statewide valuation system when assessing annual tagged motor vehicles. The vehicle's annual assessment will be provided on the annual bill, or Invitation to Renew. 

Vehicle owners have up to sixty (60) days to appeal their annual valuation with the Wilson County Tax administration. The appeal process begins thirty (30) days prior to the current expiration of registration for the vehicle and end thirty (30) days after the expiration date. 

To appeal the annual motor vehicle's value, please submit a written statement to appeal to our office via postal mail, in person, or via EMAIL. Our office asks for all owners to submit additional document supporting their reason for appeal. Once received, our office will review all information submitted and reach out directly with you to discuss the valuation process. In some cases, our office may require a physical review of the vehicle under appeal. If needed, we will reach out to schedule an appointment with you. 

For more information, please reach out to our Listing Division for additional assistance.

If a registered motor vehicle changes ownership during the year, the original owner should return the license plate to the DMV or local License Plate Agency, unless being transferred to another vehicle. Once returned, individuals have the option to bring their license plate return receipt to your local tax office for a potential refund of property taxes for any proration of property taxes for the remaining months of the registration.

To receive a refund, our office requires for the owner to provide a copy of the return receipt and one of the following additional documents: 

1. Original Bill of Sale 
2. Insurance Claim with change of ownership
3. Proof of Change of Title

If the owner cannot provide one of these items, a hand written Bill of Sale can be accepted, but must be notarized. 

Refund requests are typically processed by the third Friday of the month, and the checks will be mailed out by the second week of the following month.

MYDMV portal allows you to access your own individual tax information...

If you have misplaced the paid vehicle tax information receipt part to the left of the sticker when you received your Registration Card, below is the link to access the MyDMV Portal for your paid vehicle taxes.

Taxpayers will need their NC Driver’s License or NC Identification Card Number. Along with the Last 4 Digits of their Social Security Number, I-94 (Arrival/Departure US Customs Form) or Alien Registration Number, plus their birthdate.

Once logged in, the Taxpayer will see “Correspondence” on the right middle third of the window. Under “Correspondence” the Taxpayer will be able to select the year for Vehicle Property Tax Fee paid or as pictured VEH PROP TAX FEE. Select the year desired and all vehicles paid for in that year will pop up with the total taxes paid for each vehicle in that calendar year.

Businesses will not be able to access tax information through the MyDMV Portal and will need to refer to the information on the Registration Cards or contact our Listing Division at (252) 399-2900, Option 3.
