Letters about delinquent taxes not coming from Brunswick County

Bolivia, NC (WWAY) – Brunswick County has recently become aware that some property owners have received a letter saying the person’s property taxes are delinquent, but the letters are not coming from the county.

The spokeswoman said any notice or communication of delinquent property taxes would come directly from the Brunswick County Tax Office.
