Mecklenburg County conducts full property revaluations every four years. The most recent revaluation was completed in 2023, with the next scheduled for 2027. Between revaluations, assessed values generally remain stable unless major improvements are made.

Q: Can I appeal my Mecklenburg County property tax assessment?

Yes. You can file an informal appeal with the County Assessor's office within 30 days of receiving your revaluation notice. If that doesn't resolve the issue, you can request a formal hearing before the Board of Equalization and Review. Bring comparable sales data to support your case.
