Statutory terms are inherited from North Carolina. 0% to investors, North Carolina does not sell tax lien certificates. Delinquent taxes accrue interest (2% for the first month, then 0.75% per month) payable to the taxing unit, not to any purchaser. The county forecloses the tax lien in court either mortgage-style (G.S. 105-374) or in rem (G.S. 105-375) and sells the property to the highest bidder subject to upset bids; there is no investor certificate to buy.
