15 <br /> 2021 Tax Appeals Results <br /> Real property sales increased steadily prior to the January 1 , 2021 revaluation date. <br /> This resulted in a substantial increase in valuation county-wide for the 2021 <br /> Revaluation. <br /> The function of the Revaluation was complicated throughout by the onset of the COVID <br /> epidemic. Tax Office Staff was able to successfully review and value all properties and <br /> send notices in March 2021 . <br /> The extension of the deadline to appeal provided additional time for property owners to <br /> appeal, due to the COVID and also due to the information and subsequent review of <br /> properties in the Northside neighborhood conservation district. <br /> The online appeals module put into production in March 2021 successfully provided an <br /> effective way for property owners to appeal value without an in-person visit. <br /> The final number of appeals is below the estimated number for 2021 . The original <br /> estimate was set at up to 5,000 appeals, based on the number of appeals in 2009. <br /> Continued outreach to the communities, and the continued involvement of our <br /> taxpayers to provide information about properties in Orange County will help us to <br /> continue to provide successful revaluations in the future. <br />
