<br /> (1) Uniform schedules of values, standards, and rules to be used in appraising

<br /> real property, as well as that required by this section. (The purpose of this

<br /> standards of value by which property is appraised.)
<br /> (4) The property characteristics considered in appraising each lot, parcel, tract,
<br /> building, structure and improvement, in accordance with the schedules of
<br /> values, standards, and rules, be accurately recorded on the appropriate
<br /> property record.

<br /> structure or improvement be actually visited and observed to verify the
<br /> accuracy of property characteristics on record for that property.
<br /> (6) Each lot, parcel, tract, building, structure and improvement be separately
<br /> appraised by a competent appraiser, either one appointed under the
<br /> provisions of G.S. 105-296 or one employed under the provisions of G.S.
<br /> 105-299.
<br /> (7) Notice is given in writing to the owner that he is entitled to have an actual
<br /> visitation and observation of his property to verify the accuracy of property
<br /> characteristics on record for that property.
