Why do buyers look at Tabor City?

What kinds of homes are for sale in Tabor City?

You'll find older homes near downtown, single-family homes on larger lots, some new construction, and land. Some homes outside town use well water or septic. I check utilities, flood zone, and any deed restrictions for every property before you make an offer.

Tabor City hosts the North Carolina Yam Festival each October, with a parade, food, and events downtown. The town also has Lake Tabor, a small historic Main Street, and local restaurants.

What are property taxes in Tabor City NC?

Homes inside town limits pay both the Columbus County rate and the Town of Tabor City rate. Homes outside town limits pay the county rate plus any fire district fees. Rates can change each year, so I pull the current rate for the exact address you're considering.

Does Tabor City NC flood?

Some low areas near creeks and swamps can hold water in heavy storms. Check the flood zone for every address and get an insurance quote during due diligence. I pull the flood zone for you.
