County transfer tax
North Carolina's Excise (transfer) Tax on deeds ($1.00 per $500, per N.C.G.S. Sec. 105-228.30) is a uniform statewide rate collected by the county Register of Deeds but not itself a county-set add-on; Cumberland County levies no additional local transfer tax on top of it (unlike some coastal NC counties, which have a separate voter-approved land transfer tax).
