Alamance County is conducting a countywide revaluation effective January 1, 2027. Notices of value will be mailed February 15, 2027.
Countywide reappraisal
Revaluation information
A revaluation is a review of every property in the county to bring assessed values in line with current market value.
Countywide revaluation occurs every 4 years. We aim to be at, or as close as possible to, 100% of market value at the time of revaluation.
The Schedule of Values sets the standards and procedures used to appraise all property in the county during the revaluation.
See the current record and assessed value for any parcel in Alamance County through the online property record search.
The Office of Tax Administration spends about two years visiting and observing properties to determine an accurate market value. During that time we:
- Verify the accuracy of features and characteristics listed on a property record.
- Compare similar property sales.
- Consider any improvements or changes made to the property.
How it works
What happens during a revaluation
Every property is reviewed. Appraisers analyze market data, recent qualified sales, property characteristics, and neighborhood trends to estimate market value as of the January 1, 2027 effective date.
You receive a notice of value. Notices of value will be mailed February 15, 2027, showing each property's new assessed value.
You may appeal. If you disagree with your new value, you have the right to appeal within the timeframe stated on your notice. See the Filing an Appeal page for the steps.
Common questions
Revaluation questions
For the 2027 revaluation.
What is a revaluation?
A revaluation, or reappraisal, is an updating of tax values to bring them back in line with the current sale price of properties.
Are you revaluing everyone or just me?
The revaluation includes every parcel in the county.
How often do you do this?
North Carolina requires each county to reappraise all real property at least every eight years under N.C.G.S. § 105-286. Alamance County's last revaluation was effective January 1, 2023. The same statute allows a county to advance to a more frequent cycle by resolution of the Board of County Commissioners — Alamance County is implementing a four-year revaluation cycle, so values stay more accurate and up-to-date.
When was the last revaluation?
January 1, 2023.
When will this revaluation take effect?
January 1, 2027.
Is my bill going up?
When tax values go up, tax rates come down. Those who have seen the most growth tend to pay more taxes after a revaluation, while those who have seen the least growth tend to pay less. If a revenue neutral tax rate is used, then the average property owner will pay about the same amount of taxes as they did before the revaluation.
What is a Revenue Neutral Tax Rate?
A revenue neutral tax rate is the rate that would produce roughly the same total revenue as the year before the revaluation, adjusted for normal growth. Because values rise in a revaluation, adopting a revenue neutral rate keeps the average property owner's bill about the same.
Do you have to do this?
Yes. The revaluation is State mandated. N.C.G.S. § 105-286 requires every county to reappraise all real property at least once every eight years.
Can I opt out?
The law does not allow anyone to opt out.
What if I don't agree with your results?
If you feel that your value is incorrect, we encourage you to appeal using our Online Appeal System or by submitting a paper appeal form. File an appeal.
