Monday-Friday 8:00 AM-5:00 PM
Hoke County says Tax Collections collects taxes on personal property, real estate, and delinquent motor vehicles. The county also says deeds transferring real property must be brought to the tax office for required stamps and signatures because the Register of Deeds will not accept a deed transfer unless the Tax Collector certifies that no delinquent taxes are due. Verify payoff, refund, estate contact, and payment-processing details directly with the department before product-facing use.
