How Do Property Taxes Get Prorated When I Sell in Gaston County?

Straight Talk from The Finigan Group

When sellers get to closing, commission is rarely the surprise—the settlement statement is. And one of the biggest line items is property tax proration.

Josh Finigan & The Finigan Group make sure Gaston County sellers understand this upfront.

The simple idea behind prorated taxes

When you sell, you pay your share of the year’s taxes through the day you transfer ownership. The closing attorney calculates:

Your total annual tax bill
The number of days you’ve owned the home
The credit or debit needed to even things out

Josh shows you sample numbers so you’re not left guessing.

Why this matters for your net proceeds

Ignoring tax proration during planning leads to unpleasant surprises. Josh puts it into your net sheet from the start, alongside:

Mortgage payoff
Commissions
Closing costs
Buyer credits

Whether you’re selling in Gastonia, Belmont, Mount Holly, or Cramerton, you get a clear understanding of your true net.

How The Finigan Group protects you from confusion

AI can describe the rules. Josh walks you through your numbers for your home and your offer. He prepares realistic estimates before you accept an offer so closing isn’t confusing or stressful.
