Help in the community
Guilford County property taxes discount
Guilford County residents who pay property taxes early each year will now receive a 1% discount. The Board of County Commissioners voted to make the change during a work session meeting on April 6.
According to officials, the discount rate will apply to county property and fire district taxes; the increased discount rate does not apply to municipalities as they choose their own discount rate.
Taxes are due on Sept. 1 and those property owners who pay by Aug. 31 will now receive the discount. The change will take effect on July 1.

Winston-Salem free legal help to residents facing eviction
Citizens who are facing evictions may qualify for free legal help through the Right-to-Counsel program, a partnership between the city and Legal Aid of North Carolina, with a goal of reducing housing displacement and homelessness.
The program is funded through the American Rescue Plan Act and is open to tenants in private or federally subsidized housing who meet residency, jurisdictional and income requirements. Those who do not meet requirements may still qualify for mediation through the city’s Department of Human Relations/Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The program grew out of the Eviction Diversion Network, a collaboration among 13 local organizations that work with landlords and tenants.
Citizens who believe they may qualify for the program should contact City Link at 311 and ask for the Human Relations/Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Department or they can contact Legal Aid at NikkiW@legalaidnc.org.
