Understanding Property Tax Revaluation in North Carolina
Every four to eight years, New Hanover County conducts a property revaluation to determine fair market value for tax purposes. This assessed value is used to calculate property taxes, with tax rates set by the county and municipality by July 1st. In North Carolina, property tax values remain unchanged between revaluations unless there are physical alterations to the property. If you believe your property’s assessed value does not reflect its true market worth, you have the right to file a property tax appeal.

How Tax Appeals work in North Carolina
Board of Equalization and Review
The initial stage of the appeal process involves appealing to the Board of Equalization and Review (BER). Comprising local appointees selected by County Commissioners, the BER must convene its first meeting between the first Monday in April and the first Monday in May. During this meeting, the BER establishes the deadline for filing appeals, which can vary by county and year. To ensure timeliness, it’s advisable to submit appeals before the first Monday in April.
NC Property Tax Commission
Following a hearing before the Board of Equalization and Review, you will receive a decision notice. If dissatisfied with this decision, you have 30 days to file a Notice of Appeal and Application for Hearing with the North Carolina Property Tax Commission. This commission conducts formal legal proceedings where taxpayers must present evidence supporting their belief of unfair property assessment. Subsequently, the taxing jurisdiction has the chance to defend its valuation as fair market value.
NC Court of Appeals and Supreme Court
Once the North Carolina Property Tax Commission renders a decision, both the taxpayer and taxing jurisdiction retain the right to appeal to the North Carolina Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals can uphold, overturn, or remand the commission’s decision for further review. In certain circumstances, rulings by the North Carolina Court of Appeals can be appealed to the Supreme Court of North Carolina.
