North Carolina taxes generally have the following due dates in 2025:
- State income tax return filing deadline: April 15, 2025.
- If you request an extension, the tax filing deadline is extended to October 15, 2025, but any taxes owed are still due by April 15.
- Due to the lingering effects of Hurricane Helene, the IRS and North Carolina have extended many federal and state tax deadlines for affected taxpayers to September 25, 2025, for filing and payment. An additional filing extension can be requested for up to October 15, 2025, but payments remain due by September 25, 2025.
- Property taxes in North Carolina are typically due on September 1, 2025, with penalties and interest starting after January 5-6, 2026, depending on the county.
To summarize:
- Income taxes: April 15, 2025 (payment due), with filing extended to October 15, 2025 (if an extension is filed).
- Property taxes: September 1, 2025 (due date), with interest accruing after early January 2026.
The extended deadlines related to Hurricane Helene apply broadly to North Carolina taxpayers for various tax forms and payments originally due from September 25, 2024, through September 25, 2025.
