• The result will be your yearly property tax bill, as of 2011.

What County Will My New Home Be In?
When looking at properties, don't take the city address for granted - you could be in a different county, with different tax rates, depending on where exactly the property is located. For example, a Wake Forest home may lie in either Wake or Franklin County.
Check the Address of Your New Home
If there's a particular home that you're considering, you can go directly to the Franklin County Tax Records site, type in the address, and see the assessed value of the property.
The reassessments have just been completed, though, and Franklin County is not noted for 100% accuracy in assessing the values of property, so what you see may be either higher or lower than the asking value of the property.
If there is a discrepancy, don't be afraid to ask your real estate agent to pull comps for you!
