Union County hearing: Board upholds most property assessments after appeals

The Union County Board of Equalization and Review met to hear property valuation appeals and, after a deliberation phase, voted to uphold the assessor's value in the majority of cases heard that day.

The board’s work focused on residential and commercial valuation disputes — including rural lots in Weddington, individual neighborhood homes in Providence Downs, and several commercial parcels and bank branches in Wesley Chapel and Indian Trail. Appellants presented concerns about condition, upgrades, comparable sales and income approaches; county staff defended the reappraisal methodology, use of comparable sales, and income/cap-rate analyses.
