How Camden County's Local Variables Work

One Tax Rate, Countywide

Camden County has no incorporated municipalities, so there is no town rate to add anywhere in it. Every parcel pays the same county general rate — $0.73 per $100 of assessed value in 2025, plus $0.01 per $100 fire tax and a flat $100 solid waste fee, per the county tax office. Only the general rate is modelled here. Assessed value is not purchase price; the county's last reappraisal was effective 2023.

Older-Home Maintenance Reserve

There is no local historic district overlay and no Certificate of Appropriateness process anywhere in Camden County — design-review overlays are a municipal instrument, and there are no municipalities here. The $150/mo toggle is a plain budgeting convention for an older house's higher upkeep: roof, wood windows, siding, systems. It is not a regulatory cost.

CAMA & Flood Insurance

Camden is one of North Carolina's 20 CAMA counties, and properties along the Pasquotank River, the North River, the Dismal Swamp Canal and the Albemarle Sound may sit in an Area of Environmental Concern. Flood zone (X, AE, VE) drives whether flood insurance is required. This site quotes no flood premium and no CRS discount — enter your own insurer's annual quote and it is amortized into the monthly figure. See the flood and CAMA chapter.
