This is Durham County’s newest tax district — created June 8, 2026, for the Moriah community in the county’s rural northeast, served by the Moriah Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department. This is the first year these parcels pay any fire levy at all, so owners here will see a new line on this year’s bill.
