Tax Information

Annual property tax bills (taxes levied on real estate, business personal property, and untagged vehicles) are due on September 1 and past due after January 5. Taxes must be paid before the past due date to avoid interest charges. The Town of Elon tax bills are mailed separately from Alamance County tax bills. For information on paying your Alamance County taxes, visit the Alamance County Tax Department.

Postmarks will be accepted. It is to your advantage to mail your payment several days in advance of the past due date.

Ownership and taxability of property are determined annually as of January 1st.
