Tax Files

The Dare County tax files are self-extracting compressed files. Each file is named xxName.exe with xx representing the tax district number. After downloading the file or files that you need onto your hard drive, the self-extracting file will be extracted to C:\DCTaxes, which will be created automatically. Open the folder C:\DCTaxes. The tax file will be listed as xxName.dbf. The dbf file is ready to be imported to most Database or Spreadsheet programs.

Refer to Instructions document for general instructions on downloading and importing the tax files. 



Values in the files for download are the 2012 billing values, which are based on the 2005 Revaluation (market value of January 1, 2005). The land and building data is based on data on file for 2012.

Ownership and parcel information is based on current data on file, and was last updated on 5/17/2013.

2013 Values based on the 2013 County-wide Property Revaluation will not be available on the county website until all appeals have been processed. See below for searching 2013 preliminary values via pdf files.
