Tax sales in North Carolina curb delinquent lands at courthouses
Public land tax sales occur across NC with dates varying by county and month. Wayne County allows either newspaper or posting notices, and Cumberland County may opt out. Tax certificates sold become first liens, with six months for foreclosures, while buyers can settle earlier to cancel liens. The process emphasizes four weeks of public notice and differences from state and federal collection. Authorities note selling rarely transfers title, and purchasers have occasionally acquired valuable property for past dues. The article also previews census-based population balance across rural non farm, rural farm, and urban areas, with Page 2 to continue.
