Licensed Motor Vehicles
Licensed motor vehicles and trailers are listed automatically when you register or renew your motor vehicle or trailer registration through the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. Each month, the Department of Motor Vehicles sends the county a list of every person in the county who has registered a motor vehicle or a trailer. Motor vehicles are valued by year, make and model, in accordance with the "N. C. Vehicle Valuation Manual".
A licensed trailer includes any trailer that requires a registration, such as boat trailers, utility trailers, or camping trailers. Taxpayers receive a separate tax bill for each licensed motor vehicle or trailer about 3 months after it is registered. If you have any questions about your licensed motor vehicles or trailers please contact the Revenue Department.
