What is a Revaluation?
Revaluation is an in-depth process of reappraising all the real property in the county at its current market value. The 2024 revaluation will be a full measure and list appraisal. A full measure and list requires the appraiser to measure every improvement on the property and verify interior data. The 2024 revaluation will include the use of county maps, aerial photography, street level images, sales analysis, field visits, and other tools to gather data used in determining market value. Vance County has contracted with Vincent Valuations LLC. They will review and analyze the information including comparable sales within your neighborhood. Revaluation is not only mandated by the North Carolina General Statutes, but it is necessary to maintain equitable and uniform property values among property owners throughout the county.
