Anson County commissioners adopt 2026 property-reevaluation schedules
Summary
The board approved two 2026 reevaluation schedules — for real property values and for qualified farmland present-use values — and heard staff explain a 30-day public inspection and appeal process to the Property Tax Commission in Raleigh; notices are expected to be mailed to taxpayers by February.
Larry Newton, presenting as county staff, asked the board to adopt two 2026 reevaluation schedules: one for general real property and one for qualified farmland present-use value. Newton told the board the schedules presented on Nov. 18 had not changed and that, by statute, adopted schedules must be available for inspection for at least 30 days and that property owners have a 30-day window to appeal to the Property Tax Commission in Raleigh.
Newton said the county would offer informal and formal in-house appeals before a property owner could go to the state commission. When asked about timing, Newton estimated valuation notices would be mailed to taxpayers by February. He also said the schedules would remain on file in the tax office for public viewing.
After brief clarifying questions from commissioners, the board voted to adopt both the real-property schedule (motion by Commissioner Gatewood, second by Commissioner Mims) and the qualified-farmland present-use-value schedule (motion by Commissioner Woodburn, second by Commissioner Gatewood). The motions carried by voice vote.
The board received the explanation of the appeal process and timetable; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded.
