Where it is
About 84% of the OpenStreetMap area is in ZIP code 27712 and 16% in 27503, the Bahama ZIP code. The city’s Place Type Map marks the built-up parts as Planned Suburban Neighborhood and Established Residential and much of the open land as Rural and Agricultural Reserve. Part of it is now Employment Campus: the City Council and the county commissioners both adopted that change on Aug. 17, 2026, in case A2500001, according to the map’s data.
City or county matters here. A home inside the city pays the Durham County rate of $0.5792 and the city rate of $0.4371 per $100 of assessed value for 2026-27; a home outside the city pays the county rate plus a fire district rate instead, according to the county’s tax rates page. Look up a parcel on the county’s tax bill search or the city’s address map. More in our property tax guide.
