Relocating to Clayton, NC – Frequently Asked Questions

by RelocateClayton

Here’s a quick list of questions to help you figure out some local nuances, get answers to pressing questions and maybe even a laugh or two along the way. Clayton is a great place to live, and the more you know about life here, the more educated your decision to move her will be.

Q. The home I’m looking at has a Clayton address, but when I called the town about the average water bill for the house, they referred me to the Johnston County Utilities department. Why?relocate-clayton-nc-questions

A. It’s possible to have a Clayton, NC address, but not live under the municipal jurisdiction of the town of Clayton. If you live in the town’s municipal jurisdiction, you’ll have to pay them taxes, along with the county. If you only live in the county and not any municipal jurisdiction, you only have to pay property taxes to the county. Keep in mind, towns like Clayton and Smithfield will soak you for user fees if you don’t live in their ‘real’ town. Town sports leagues and other municipally-funded programs and facilities typically charge out-of-towners more because they aren’t contributing to the tax base.

Q. I don’t trust real estate agents, but I trust you at Relocate Clayton. Can you suggest an agent?

A. Always. We have three that we would suggest without hesitation. Teresa Pollock of Condit Realty, Tracy Riba of Carolina Realty and Jeff Horton of Allen Tate Realty.

We’ll be adding more to this list soon! Thank you for visiting Relocate Clayton!
