Exemption filing

Senior relief

For 2026, Johnston County lists the elderly/disabled exclusion for age 65+ or total permanent disability with combined income up to $38,800, the circuit breaker up to $58,200 with five-year ownership/occupancy, and disabled-veteran exclusion; file by June 1.

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.
