FAYETTEVILLE – Cumberland County Tax Administration reminds citizens that property taxes for real estate and personal property listed in January 2024 will be delinquent if not paid by Jan. 6, 2025. Interest and enforced collections such as bank levy, wage/rent garnishments, and/or foreclosure, will begin on Jan. 7, 2025. Interest and collection fees will be added to the tax amount due.

County Government offices and the Courthouse will be closed Dec. 24 – 26 for the Christmas holiday. Offices will again be closed on Wednesday, Jan. 1, for New Year’s Day.
