How do I know if I should file an appeal?

Once you receive your Notice of 2019 Real Estate Assessed Value in late January, you have a couple of options if you disagree with your value: 

  1. Informal Review--You have 30 days from the date you received your Notice of 2019 Real Estate Assessed Value to request an Informal Review. An Informal Review allows you and an assessor to review the property record and supporting information together. If an error is found, it can be corrected without having to go to a Formal Appeal. Informal reviews are encouraged. Request an informal review by visiting the property information portal (https://property.spatialest.com/nc/mecklenburg), completing the form included with your Notice, in-person or by calling 980-314-4226. 
  2. Formal Appeal--If you believe your 2019 Notice of Real Estate Assessed Value is not a reasonable estimate of what your property could sell for on Jan. 1, 2019, you also have the right to file a Formal Appeal by May 20, 2019. If you're considering requesting an Informal Review or filing a Formal Appeal, visit our property information portal (https://property.spatialest.com/nc/mecklenburg) to verify the information we have on file for your property and to review sales information for similar properties. Q: How do I request an Informal Review? A: Request an Informal Review by visiting the property information portal, in-person or by calling 980-314-4226.
