What makes North Carolina different
Flat state income tax keeps the marginal deduction maths simple when modelling after-tax cost.
Property tax outweighs insurance on a median home here, $227 against $167 a month, so an assessment appeal is worth more than a policy switch.
Property tax is the cheap part of owning here. At 0.80% the effective rate is the 21st lowest in the country, which on a median $340,000 home is only $227 a month — $2,720 a year that buyers in higher-rate states simply have to find.
A top state income tax rate of 4.5% makes mortgage interest and property tax deductions worth more here than in a no-income-tax state — though the $10,000 SALT cap limits how much of the $2,720 annual property tax bill actually reduces what you owe.
