calculator-pen-paperAll counties in North Carolina are required to revalue property periodically.

Buncombe County attempts to maintain a four-year reappraisal schedule. The last reappraisal in Buncombe County was January 1, 2013, and the next scheduled reappraisal will be January 1, 2017.

The reappraisal process begins with the reviewing of information used to determine each property’s value. Real property includes land, buildings, structures, and improvements.

It is important to review all property between reappraisals to make sure that the information used is correct. Some people, including fixed-income elderly and others on fixed or limited incomes, may be entitled to a reduction in the tax appraisal of their property.

For more information about the reappraisal, contact the Real Estate Division, call (828) 250-4940.
