Property Tax Appeals
The 2025 revaluation raised county-wide assessments by $33 billion overnight. If your property was overassessed, you are paying too much.
Why 2025 Matters
New Hanover County conducts periodic revaluations to adjust property assessments to current market value. The 2025 revaluation was the largest in county history — a 70.3% increase in total assessed value, adding over $33 billion to the tax rolls.
Mass revaluations use statistical models, not individual appraisals. That means some properties get assessed accurately and others do not. If your property landed on the wrong side of that model, you are overpaying — and you have a limited window to challenge it.
Our platform has analyzed every parcel in the county. We know which zones got hit hardest, what the real comparables show, and where the assessor's model overshot. That analysis is the foundation of every research packet we produce.

How We Help
From initial review through hearing preparation, we provide the research and evidence supporting the case. The owner files.
Assessment Review
We pull the property data and compare it against recent sales and market conditions. If the assessment looks high, we say so.
Valuation Analysis
We analyze comparable sales, income data, and zoning factors to build a defensible market value estimate.
Evidence Packet
We assemble the research and evidence packet — comparable sales, valuation analysis, supporting documents — for the owner to submit with their informal appeal.
Hearing Preparation
If the case proceeds to the Board of Equalization and Review, we provide the underlying research the owner uses to support their case. Most cases resolve before formal hearing.
Lower Assessment
A lower assessed value means lower taxes — every year going forward until the next revaluation.

Your assessment is higher than recent comparable sales
The county has incorrect property data (size, condition, use)
You own commercial or multifamily property
