Assessed valuations:

By NC law each county must reassess property values to "market" at least every eight years. Actual revaluations occur every 3 to 8 years depending on the county. The valuation process is separate from the tax rate process.  With the new higher valuations, tax rates declined.

All new valuations are available on line.

 Last Assessments:  Durham County  2008, Wake County 2008, Chatham 2009, Orange 2009
