The first step in appealing your property tax value is to appeal to the county Board of Equalization & Review ["BER"]. Each county has its own BER. So, one obviously appeals to the BER in the county where the property is located.  In order for the appeal to be timely, it must be filed by the "date of adjournment" of the BER.  The date of adjournment is a somewhat artificial date, as the BER will continue to meet and hear appeals after its "adjournment date." Nonetheless, to be timely, an appeal has to be filed by the adjournment date. 

APPEAL DEADLINES ARE NEARING FOR COUNTIES REVALUING IN 2022

North Carolina law requires counties to revalue all property in the county at least once every 8 years. Many counties revalue on a 4 year cycle. Because successful tax appeals are good only for the current year and future years until the next revaluation, and not good for prior years, it is important to appeal in the year of revaluation to get the biggest bang for your buck. Not all counties revalue in the same year. As stated in an earlier blog, 12 NC counties are revaluing in 2022.

The Haywood County Tax Department has completed its reappraisal of real property, and property owners have begun to receive tax revaluation notices. The County reappraises property on a four-year schedule, so this assessment will determine your property’s taxable value until 2025—and can generally only be changed based on physical changes to the property or a successful revaluation appeal.

Every parcel of real property in Stokes County, including the properties in the county seat of Danbury, has been reassessed and assigned a new value that will determine the taxes owed by property owners for the next four years.  Property owners across the county are now asking themselves whether they should appeal the county’s decision about the value of their properties — and if so, how?
