Well, this is new to me. I've been located at an RV park in NC for about 1 1/2 years and received a property tax bill from Henderson County. I called the tax office and was told the tax applies to all...

Not quite true:
I am looking at my TT bill that I just paid. The name of the form is " NC Combined Vehicle Registration Renewal and Property Tax". Cost are broken down as follows: 1- " Vehicle Property Tax Information" and 2-"Vehicle Registration / Inspection Information"
There are 2 amounts on the bill, " Property Tax" and Registration Fee"
So they actually call the tax a Vehicle Property Tax. It is now combined with State Registration and in order to renew a registration you have to pay the Personal Property / Vehicle Property tax at the same time.
Have no idea what they would or could do with out of State registered Vehicles, although I there is a DMV requirement if you move to NC that you register your vehicle in NC within 30 days of you current states expiration. So I guess it would depend on whether you are a " resident" of NC according to the State laws.
Correct...our motorhome (and the TT before that), utility trailer, cars and home are all taxed based on property value. I live in the county and not within any city limits. My property tax rate is some where between .5-.6%. The tax amount is based on the value that the county (or municipality put on it). They include the registration with the tax payment as well. You used to get two different bills. One for registration and then 3 months later for the tax. They are combined now. If we were to move into, lets say Charlotte city limits, then our taxes would double. Hence why we live where we do.
I would guess that since you have been living in the state for a year and half, then they are going to tax you accordingly. It also may depend on where you are at. There is a place west of charlotte (think it's kings mountain or close to it) that has changed things due to traveling workers. Before, they could not legally stay in one place more than a month. I believe they changed the local ordinance to a year. I will try and see if I can find the article.
