Mecklenburg County 2023 Real Property Reassessment

Research & Appeal Your Property's New Tax Valuation
Taking the First Steps to Appealing Your Tax Valuation on Your Own

As you may know, Mecklenburg county has just completed the revaluation for 2023. The last time this was completed it was 2019. Most areas have seen increases in property values since that time. If you feel like the increase for your property is still not reasonable according to similar home sales in your area from 2021-2022, you will need to file the Request for Informal Review. Instructions for filing a Request for Informal Review was included with your revaluation notice (you only have 30 days from receipt of the Revaluation Notice to file the Request for Informal Review). You will be paying according to that increase for the next 4-8 years (until the next revaluation). If you fail to notify the Assessor's Office within this time period, they will instruct you to re-file your appeal the following year.

An appraisal report for your property prepared by a NC State Certified Appraiser can be a valuable tool in providing evidence to the Assessor's Office in your appeal to adjust your valuation. However, there is usually no need to get an appraiser or attorney involved until the Assessor's Office makes their Informal Review of the information that you can provide to them with just a little basic research on your own. Our website has a great deal of information and resources for property owners to use with regards to completing the Request for Informal Review.
