Each shaded zone is a set of parcels taxed by exactly the same governments — the same county, municipal, fire-district, school-district, and special-district levies. Darker means a higher combined FY 2026–27 rate. Durham, Wake, and Orange Counties currently span 67 zones, from$0.5371 per $100 on Wake's no-fire-district fringe to $1.3937in Carrboro, where the Orange County rate, the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school tax, and the town's own high rate stack together.
