Having visited Brunswick County to look at the possibilities of relocation, I found the real estate taxes to be more than affordable. From what I could tell, the majority of the residents are northeasterners that have relocated to retire and move to an area with a much lower tax rate. What Brunswick County pays in a year, the northeast pays in a month.

I am however, a little shocked to see the substantial decline in real estate values which will make me think twice before buying in Brunswick county to retire.
