Exemption filing

June 1, 2026 for North Carolina elderly/disabled, disabled-veteran, and circuit-breaker property-tax relief applications.

Senior relief

North Carolina elderly/disabled homestead exclusion is available to qualifying owners age 65+ or totally and permanently disabled; the circuit-breaker deferment and disabled-veteran exclusion are also available. Applications and income documentation are filed with the county assessor by June 1. Lee County's official reappraisal materials identify these three programs and the June 1 filing deadline.

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. Lee County uses a four-year reappraisal cycle; the next reappraisal after 2023 is scheduled for 2027.

For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
