You can appear in person before the Board of Equalization and Review, but it is not required. If you are unable to attend on the date and time set by the Clerk to the Board, your case will still be heard. The Board will review all submitted documentation regarding your case and mail you a decision.

Appeals should be submitted to the tax office in person or online within 30 days following the notice date. Taxpayers are encouraged to submit their appeal within the 30 days to ensure that we can address any issues with their property.

If I do not agree with the value based on the assessor’s review of the appeal what is the next step in the appeal process?

  • North Carolina Appellate Court

If you disagree with the Board’s decision, you will have 30 days to file an appeal with the NC Property Tax Commission in Raleigh. Instructions will be provided on how to appeal to the NC Property Tax Commission in the letter you receive from the Board of Equalization and Review.
