Valuation limits
North Carolina has no general annual assessed-value cap for ordinary real property; value follows statutory true-market-value appraisal and the county revaluation schedule. Present-use value for qualifying agricultural, horticultural, and forestland is a separate statutory reduction/deferment, not a general valuation cap. Rowan County's last revaluation was effective January 1, 2023 and the next is scheduled for January 1, 2027; no separate general local valuation cap was identified.
