Property-tax appeals in North Carolina
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in North Carolina.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | Request a hearing before the county Board of Equalization and Review in writing or by personal appearance BEFORE the board adjourns (N.C.G.S. 105-322(g)(2)). The board first meets between the first Monday in April and the first Monday in May; in non-revaluation years it generally completes duties by the third Monday after its first meeting and may not sit past July 1; in revaluation years it may sit to December 1. |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | County Board of Equalization and Review; then the North Carolina Property Tax Commission (state-level appeal). |
An informal review with the county tax office usually comes first, but it does not extend the board deadline. Meeting and adjournment dates are published in a county newspaper at least three times before the first meeting — the published adjournment date is the operative deadline, and some counties adjourn for hearing requests very early in the session, so check the county notice first. Counties revalue on their own cycles (up to 8 years).
What wins in North Carolina
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
