HOW NORTH CAROLINA APPEALS WORK
THE SHORT VERSION

North Carolina appraises your home at full market value and reappraises at least every eight years. You appeal to the county board of equalization and review before it adjourns in the spring. An appeal makes sense when comparable sales show your appraisal is too high; it will not fix a bill that rose from the tax rate.

WHEN AN APPEAL MAKES SENSE
  • Recent comparable sales show your appraised value is above market.
  • Your home is appraised higher than similar homes nearby.
  • Your county just reappraised and the new value overshot the market.
WHEN IT USUALLY WILL NOT
  • Your bill went up but your appraisal is fair. Commissioners set the tax rate, not the appraisal.
  • The board already adjourned. You have to wait for the next appeal period.

Read the full explanation

In North Carolina, your county appraises your home at 100 percent of market value and reappraises at least every eight years. You appeal that appraised value, not your tax bill, to the county board of equalization and review, and you must file before the board adjourns, usually in the spring after values are set. An appeal helps when recent comparable sales show your appraisal is above market, or when it is out of line with similar homes. It usually will not help just because your bill went up, since county commissioners set the tax rate separately. This is general information, not tax advice.
