In FY 2001-2002 the Tax Assessor’s office conducted a
county-wide revaluation of real property. North Carolina
General Statutes require that real property be assessed at
market value at least every eight years. It had been seven
years since the last revaluation in Transylvania County. Five
members of the Tax Assessor’s ten-person staff worked directly
on the revaluation of approximately 30,000 property records, and
the entire staff became involved during the 2,868 informal
hearings that followed the issuance of the property tax
appraisals. The appeal process will continue throughout the
remainder of the year. Of North Carolina’s 100 counties, only
40 do revaluations with their own staff rather than through
outside appraisers. It is estimated that the county saved
approximately $500,000 by doing the revaluation in-house versus
outsourced. Overall real property in the county increased in
value by an average of 49%.
In addition to participating in the revaluation, the Tax
Assessor’s office performed its routine duties. These included
updating the value of 35,870 motor vehicles, mobile homes,
boats, trailers, and airplanes; changing 2,281 real property
records; and processing a multitude of wills, death
certificates, building permits, and property splits. As a
result of internal and external audits of business personal
property, almost $175,000 in revenues was realized.
Considerable time and effort was also spent settling real and
personal property tax appeals made by the county’s two largest
taxpayers. The Tax Assessor’s office provides various records
to realtors, attorneys, surveyors, other county offices, and the
general public.
Whether conducting a revaluation or performing their routine
responsibilities, the Tax Assessor’s office strives to serve all
the county’s citizens in a professional, friendly, and courteous
manner.
