Board hears that state law delays 2026 reappraisal; appeals still proceed
Summary
A board member told Buncombe’s Board of Equalization that Senate Bill 889 delays the 2026 reappraisal year but leaves current appeals in place; the member said an additional bill could exempt Buncombe County from the moratorium and that staff will update members by email.
During the June 22 meeting, a board member advised colleagues that a state law signed Friday (Senate Bill 889, as referenced in the transcript) delays the 2026 reappraisal schedule by one year but preserves the validity of appeals already filed.
The member told the board that the moratorium move delays county reappraisals but does not void appeals, and that the board should expect email updates as the county receives further guidance. The speaker also noted a separate bill (referred to in the transcript as "474") that would exempt Buncombe County and other counties from the state moratorium; that exemption had not been finalized and the member said they would report back.
The board did not take formal action on the reappraisal legislation during the meeting; the comment was presented as informational.
