May 1, 2026 — Tax Administrators from Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, and Union counties, as well as the NCACC Director of Tax and Revenue Outreach, have partnered to create a two-hour program to increase understanding of the revaluation process and provide key takeaways for successful elected official participation.
The interactive discussion provides a practical overview of revaluation, combining statutory guidance with real‑world application. This session is ideal for elected officials seeking a stronger foundation in revaluation and its impact on policy and planning.
It’s highly recommended for elected officials who have not experienced a revaluation process.
Participants will learn:
- Recent revaluation success stories and roadblocks from across NC
- Revaluation process basics
- What happens during a day-in-the-life of an appraiser
- The value of the revaluation cycle
- The Board/Council role in revaluation
- The appeals process
- What revaluation means to municipalities v. what it means to counties (and partnership best practices)
- What elected boards will have in hand at the end of the revaluation process and how to use it
