The City of Locust operates under an annual balanced budget ordinance. The annual budget, developed after careful consideration, levies taxes and allocates resources in a manner that effectively reflects the priorities of the Locust City Council.
Property taxes are assessed at a rate which is applied to every $100 of assessed property value. This value may be different to the value you purchased the property from.
| Tax rate for every $100 of assessed property value | ||
| City of Locust | Stanly County | Cabarrus County |
| $0.29 | $0.51 | $0.576 |
*Additional fire district tax applies to all properties depending on the property’s location*

Should you believe the assessed value of your property is incorrect (e.g. valued too high, or valued highly even after an incident which damaged the property) you may request a reassessment of your property value. You may also wish to seek an independent and accredited property valuer to make this assessment. A home appraisal for sale purposes should not affect the tax rate for the property.
