Vance County reappraisal explained: notices, appeals and what Henderson homeowners should know
Summary
A representative of Vincent Valuation, LLC told Henderson City Council that the 2024 Vance County reappraisal is effective Jan. 1, 2024; notices will be mailed in March, appeals will begin in April with a May deadline, and tax bills affected will be issued in summer 2024. Residents are advised to review property pages online and compile comparable-sales documentation for appeals.
Ryan Vincent of Vincent Valuation, LLC briefed Henderson City Council on the Vance County reappraisal, explaining the mass appraisal methods, timing and homeowner options for review and appeal.
Vincent said the reappraisal process updates assessed values to current market value, using recent sales and time-adjusted comparisons when necessary. He told the council the reappraisal takes effect Jan. 1, 2024, and that notices to property owners will be mailed the first and second weeks of March. Appeal hearings before the Board of Equalization and Review are scheduled to begin in April, with the deadline to submit an appeal in May; the first tax bills reflecting the new assessments will appear in summer 2024.
The presentation included practical guidance for homeowners: review your property information on the Vance County Tax Office website, use the online comparison tool to check sales of similar properties, and, if you believe your assessment is incorrect, file an appeal supported by comparable sales documentation, a recent appraisal and interior/exterior photos. Vincent emphasized that appeals should be based on evidence of incorrect assessment rather than the percentage change from the prior reappraisal.
City Manager Edward T. Blackmon and councilmembers asked clarifying questions about the valuation window; Vincent said the vendor attempts to value properties as of Jan. 1, 2024 and will time-adjust sales if recent comparable transactions are not available. He said the website will go live once notices are mailed.
What residents should do next: watch for mailed notices in March; review property records on the Vance County Tax Office site; gather supporting documentation if filing an appeal; and prepare for hearings beginning in April. The Board of Equalization and Review will administer appeal hearings and final tax rates will be set after the appeals process concludes.
