How High Point Property Taxes Work
Property in High Point is assessed at 100% of fair market value as of January 1 each year. The tax lien attaches on that date. Guilford County performs all assessments under G.S. 105-289. The county does revaluation every five years. The last one was in 2022 and the next is set for 2026.
Your High Point property tax bill is calculated by dividing your assessed value by 100 and multiplying by the combined tax rate. The Guilford County rate for fiscal year 2025-2026 is 73.05 cents per $100. On top of that, the City of High Point adds its own municipal rate. Both show as separate items in your High Point property tax records.
When revaluation happens, values across High Point get updated to match current market trends. A rise in your assessed value means a higher bill, even if the tax rate does not change. Check your assessment notice in the spring to see where your High Point property stands.
