09 Feb 2019 by Beth Pihl

Recently, homeowners across the Charlotte and Lake Norman areas have opened their mail to big surprise! The assessed tax value of many homes has increased. A countywide tax revaluation has taken place with an effective date of January 1, 2019. You should have already received your notice of 2019 Real Estate Assessed Value in the mail. Was it good news or bad news? For some, it may cause their taxes to go up by thousands of dollars a year.

Should I protest my Real Estate Assessed Value?

You should strongly consider an appeal if:

  • The values of properties that are selling are lower than your assessed value, or…
  • The condition of your home is below the condition of homes that are selling for
    the same as your valuation.

How do I appeal and what are the important dates and deadlines?
