Property value notices out in Buncombe County; appeal clinic hours extended

March 25, 2026 - 13:09

Property owners across Buncombe County have now received their new property value notices, which will determine tax valuations for the 2026 fiscal year. The county's recent revaluation has prompted officials to extend the hours for their appeal assistance clinics, providing more flexibility for residents seeking guidance.

The notices, mailed to all county property owners, reflect the market value of real estate as of January 1, 2025. Officials emphasize that these updated values are crucial for ensuring a fair distribution of the property tax burden. Understanding that reassessments can generate questions, the county has expanded in-person and virtual clinic hours throughout April and May. These sessions offer owners a direct opportunity to discuss their valuation with assessment staff, review their property record, and understand the formal appeal process.

The deadline to file an appeal is currently set for early May. Tax officials encourage residents to carefully review their notices and to utilize the available resources if they have concerns about the assessed value of their home or land. The extended clinic schedule aims to ensure every property owner has adequate access to information and support during this period.
