Bankruptcy And Property Taxes

Summary

Property taxes are generally considered priority debts and may not be discharged in bankruptcy. In North Carolina, property taxes over a year old may be discharged, but a lien may remain. To avoid foreclosure, consider setting up a payment plan with your county or filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy to pay off tax debt over time. Consult a local bankruptcy attorney for personalized advice.
