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 no more than $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. The Circuit Breaker limits taxes to 4% of income at or below $38,800 and 5% at income up to $58,200, subject to statutory rules. Scotland County's 2026 AV-9 identifies the $38,800 income limit for the Elderly or Disabled Exclusion.
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. Scotland County's 2026 revaluation is effective January 1, 2026; its Present-Use Value program is a statutory deferment rather than a general cap.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
