Revaluation Notices Are Hitting Property Owners’ Mailboxes

/by

Vance County Tax Administration recently mailed its 2024 revaluation notices to all residential and commercial property owners which provides an updated appraisal of all real property in Vance County to its current market value as of Jan. 1, 2024 per state requirements.

The state statutes also allow property owners the right to appeal if they feel the market value established does not reflect true market value. Citizens must file such appeal by June 3,2024. To learn more about the revaluation and appeal process visit www.vancecounty.org. On the homepage, click on Departments  and then find Tax Administration Office in the drop-down box.

“I highly recommend, should a citizen wish to appeal, they should visit our website, review the data, and, should they disagree, file the appeal ahead of the deadline of June 3, 2024,” stated Tax Administrator Porcha Brooks.  The notices mailed to property owners, in fact, suggests that appeals be filed by May 28 to make sure there is adequate time for scheduling.

“We would like to engage in conversations with our citizens quickly, answer any questions and/or address their concerns,” Brooks said. “I would also like to apologize for the link within the notice that is not currently taking citizens to the correct location of our website. We have ensured a link is located on the County Home Page to help citizens navigate through the process,” she added.

There’s a website listed on the notice where property owners can search for comparable properties and their appraised value that property owners may find useful.

Any property owner who wants to appeal the appraised value because it’s not a reasonable estimate must file an appeal before Monday, June 3, 2024 at https://www.vancecounty.org/ departments/tax-overview/vance-appeal-app/.

Contact the tax office at 252.738.2040 or email taxoffice@vancecounty.org to learn more about the process. County staff anticipate that many of the appeals will be handled during the informal appeals period, but if not, property owners will appear before the county’s Equalization & Review board for a formal appeals process.

If an agreement isn’t reached during this formal appeals process, property owners have 30 days from the date of the E&R board’s written decision to file an appeal with the N.C. Property Tax Commission in Raleigh.
