Which North Carolina counties revalue property in 2027 and 2028
Updated Oct 29, 2026
North Carolina counties must revalue all property at least every eight years, and many do it more often. In a revaluation year every property gets a new value as of January 1, notices are mailed early in the year, and the appeal window opens. Here are the counties whose new values owners can appeal in the next two years, from the NC Department of Revenue's schedule.
Counties sometimes change their schedule. Your county's notice of value is the final word. The General Assembly postponed several 2026 revaluations so the new values take effect for 2027; those counties are marked below.

New values to appeal in 2028
What to do before your notice arrives
- Check the county's record of your home and get any errors fixed now, so the new value is built on correct facts. How to fix your record.
- Note sales of similar homes before January 1 of the revaluation year. They're the evidence an appeal is built on. Look up your address to see the county's sales near you.
- Read the appeal steps so you're ready when the notice comes: How to appeal in North Carolina.
A higher value doesn't automatically mean a higher bill. After a revaluation, counties and towns set new tax rates, and your bill depends on both. See every county's schedule.
