Wake County side

Wendell is the Triangle’s great tax oddity: uniquely among Wake municipalities, every property in town ALSO pays the county Fire Tax District levy on top of the town rate — the county fire district legally includes Wendell. That pushes Wendell’s true combined rate well above what the town rate alone suggests.
