Taxes, deadlines and relief programs that could help Durham County homeowners
Summary
The tax administrator reminded residents that 2024 taxes are due by 01/05/2025 without penalty and outlined state exemptions plus Durham County's Low Income Homeowner Relief (LIHR) program administered by DSS.
Durham County officials said tax bills were mailed in mid‑August and that 2024 taxes are due by 01/05/2025 to avoid penalties; after that date, penalties and interest begin to accrue. "Remember, you have until 01/05/2025 to pay your 2024 taxes without penalty," host Deborah Craig Ray said during the broadcast, and Doyle confirmed the payment window and encouraged anyone with hardship to contact the tax office for assistance.
Doyle reviewed relief options: three state programs administered through the tax office—the elderly and disabled exemption, the veteran disabled exclusion, and the circuit breaker deferment—and a county program, the Low Income Homeowner Relief (LIHR) program, administered by the Department of Social Services. He noted limits on the state programs’ income eligibility (transcript cites a $36,700 income maximum for a uniform state program example) and said LIHR gives Durham flexibility to assist qualifying residents.
