26 <br /> 7. Reports <br /> a. Report on 2021 Tax Appeals Results <br /> The Board received a report on the results of the 2021 Appeals Process. <br /> BACKGROUND: 2021 was a Revaluation year, and in March 2021, the Notices of Revaluation <br /> were mailed to property owners. Due to public concerns, the Board of Commissioners approved <br /> a resolution at the June 15, 2021 Business meeting to extend the adjournment date of the <br /> Board of Equalization and Review (BOER) until September 1, 2021, extending the <br /> corresponding appeal period as well. <br /> Based on information brought to the Tax Office by community leaders, and additional research <br /> by the Tax Office, the BOER directed the Tax Office on July 28, 2021 to review the additional <br /> properties in the Northside area because of use restrictions in the area. <br /> The BOER adjourned on September 1, 2021 and held post-adjournment hearings through mid- <br /> December 2021. <br /> As of December 16, 2021, all Decision Notices for 2021 formal appeals were completed and <br /> mailed. Appellants had a 30-day window from the date of the decision notice to appeal to the <br /> North Carolina Property Tax Commission (NCPTS). <br /> This report provides the results of the 2021 appeals, and the effects of the additional time <br /> provided by the extension of the 2021 appeal period. It also provides the results of the <br /> neighborhood conservation districts review. <br /> It should be noted that a value appeal initiates a review of the property by the assigned <br /> appraiser, who will correct inaccuracies in the property record and adjust the value of the <br /> property accordingly through application of the approved Schedule of Values. Any resulting <br /> change in value may coincide with the appellant's opinion of value or be less or greater than the <br /> appellant's opinion. The resulting value must reflect market value as of the most recent <br /> revaluation date, as is required by the North Carolina General Statutes. <br /> Nancy Freeman, Tax Administrator, gave the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> Slide #1 <br /> I <br /> 2021 Tax Appeals Results <br /> Nancy Freeman,Tax Administrator <br /> April 5.2022 <br />
