The City of Graham will accept payment in the form of cash, single-party check, credit/debit card or money order. Payments may be made in person at City Hall during normal business hours, or by mail. A payment drop box is located just inside the main entrance to City Hall, 201 South Main Street. Payments placed in the drop box after 5 p.m. will be considered next-day payments.

No, the City of Graham sends one tax bill and it is sent to the property owner. It is the property owner’s obligation to ensure the timely payment of taxes. Therefore, if funds are held in escrow to pay this bill, please forward the bill to the appropriate mortgage holder.

Taxes are due September 1st. Taxes become delinquent after January 5, with a 2% penalty added on January 6. Interest will accrue at a rate of ¾% until taxes are paid in full every month thereafter.

All vehicle taxes are now billed and collected with your annual vehicle registration through the North Carolina Tag and Tax Together program. 

The City of Graham will be glad to work out a payment plan for you, but you must contact the Tax Collector to work out an agreement that will get your taxes paid in full before they become delinquent.

The City of Graham does accept pre-payments in any amount before the bills are processed. If you would like to pay your taxes in full we will base the current tax amount on the value provided by Alamance County or on your prior year tax bill.

Unpaid taxes are delinquent on January 6 of each year. At that time the tax office can begin enforcement measures which can include, but are not limited to, attachment of wages and bank accounts, levy on personal property, attachment to State Income Tax Refunds, and foreclosure.
