Budget

The town 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 governing body.

Property taxes are assessed at a rate which is applied to every $100 of property value. All Property was revalued in Mecklenburg and Iredell Counties with an effective date of January 1, 2019, which affected the property tax bills distributed beginning in July, 2019.

• Effective for FY2020, the Town of Davidson tax rate is $0.29 per $100 of assessed property value. The chart below is based on our FY 2022 approved budget:
  
• Effective in FY2020, the Mecklenburg County tax rate is $0.6169 per $100 of assessed property value.
• Iredell County tax rate is $0.5275 per $100 of assessed property value.

To calculate your tax bill, take the value of your property, divide by 100, and multiply by the corresponding tax rate or rates above.
