June 1, 2026 for the North Carolina AV-9 elderly/disabled, disabled-veteran, or circuit-breaker relief application filed with Beaufort County Tax Assessor.
Senior relief
North Carolina 2026 AV-9: the Elderly or Disabled Exclusion is available to a qualifying owner age 65+ or totally and permanently disabled, with prior-year income not over $38,800; it excludes the greater of $25,000 or 50% of the appraised permanent residence. The Disabled Veteran Exclusion is up to $45,000 and the Circuit Breaker defers taxes for qualifying owners. Applications are filed with the county assessor by June 1, 2026.
Valuation limits
No general North Carolina parcel-value cap verified. North Carolina requires appraisal at true value in money and general reappraisal at least every eight years; local counties may revalue more often. The AV-9 Circuit Breaker is a tax deferment, not a valuation cap. 2026 reappraisal counties are also subject to Session Laws 2026-8 and 2026-47 where applicable. Beaufort's 2025 revaluation used a revenue-neutral county rate for the 2025-2026 fiscal year; no parcel-value cap was published.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
