Orange County Tax Department Announces 2025 Countywide Revaluation of Real Estate |
|
|
The Orange County Tax Department reminds property owners that the countywide revaluation of all real estate—including residential and commercial properties as well as vacant land—will become effective as of January 1, 2025.
Revaluation, mandated by North Carolina law to occur at least once every eight years, updates property values to reflect current market conditions. Orange County adheres to a four-year revaluation schedule, with the previous revaluation implemented in 2021. This process ensures that property assessments remain equitable, aligning with shifts in market trends, economic factors, and development.
