Valuation limits
North Carolina has no general annual assessed-value cap for ordinary real property; value follows statutory true-market-value appraisal. Present-use value for qualifying agricultural, horticultural, and forestland is a separate statutory tax reduction/deferment, and county revaluation schedules apply. Johnston County states real property must be appraised at market value at least every eight years.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
