Real Estate is valued based on the County’s current schedule of values. The schedule of values is generated prior to the County-wide revaluation, which occurs every 8 years. North Carolina law requires that each county conduct a revaluation at least once every eight years. The last revaluation in Edgecombe County was effective January 1, 2001. The primary purpose of the revaluation is to provide equalization among all property owners, as well as among all classes of property. Since property taxes are based on value, it is important to have all property valued periodically on a uniform basis.

You should submit your request for appeal during the listing period. Appeal forms are available in the Tax Assessor's Office. Also, appeal forms may be requested from the Tax Department by writing or calling (252) 641-7858.
