Welcome to the electronic appeals process for the Macon County Tax Administration Office. It is our intent that this process will provide you an additional method of appealing your 2025 Assessed Value. Real Estate Appeals for the 2025 tax year must be received at the Tax Office by TBD.

Macon County is on a four-year revaluation cycle, and performed their previous County Wide Revaluation effective January 1, 2023. The new 2023 reappraisal assessment is determined using sales and other relevant information that occurred between January1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 and prior to January 1, 2023. Sales, appraisals, listings, etc. cannot be considered January 1 2023 or later. Appraisals for bank, mortgage lenders or refinancing cannot be used for this purpose unless approved by the lender or appraiser.

Taxpayers wishing to APPEAL may do so for the following reasons:

• Property value is significantly higher or lower than its actual fair market value as of January 1, 2025. See NC G.S. 105-283 for definition of “market value”.
• Property value is inconsistent with the values of similar properties.
• Property data is incorrect.

Appeals CANNOT be considered for the following reasons:

• Percentage increase or decrease from the previous assessed value.
• Percentage increase or decrease as compared to any area’s average increase or decrease (county, region, area, neighborhood, etc.)
• Your financial ability to pay any anticipated tax. (Note: An increase or decrease in value does not mean you will pay more or less taxes.)
