E-check payments typically take several days to come to the County for processing. This is important to keep in mind as the date the payment is received is the date used for interest purposes.
Also, it could be the payment was denied due to an incorrect account number being entered. There are some checking accounts that do not allow e-checks to be used. In these cases the transaction will not complete and money is not sent to the County for processing.
Reappraisals are conducted to provide equity between properties and to maintain fairness. It is necessary to re-equalize values periodically to ensure that all property bears its fair share of the tax burden - no more, and no less.
During the reappraisal process, several factors are taken into consideration to arrive at each parcel’s value. For example, some reappraisals may not be complete if the property had changes to a building, or if a new parcel id number was issued due to a change in land size. This may delay the completion of updating these values. You will be notified of the new value for 2017 as soon as possible and will have an opportunity to appeal if you do not agree with the value.

If the information review process does not resolve your concerns, you may appeal your valuation to the Forsyth County Board of Equalization and Review. Formal appeal forms are available on GeoData Explorer or by calling our office at 336-703-2300. Formal appeals must be filed by June 30th, 2017 or within 15 days of your last value notice, whichever is later. Appeals to this board must be submitted in writing. If you do not agree with the Board’s decision you may appeal to the North Carolina Property Tax Commission. The North Carolina Court of Appeals and the North Carolina Supreme Court would hear further appeals.
Reappraisals cause a significant increase in workload for our appraisal staff; therefore, our appraisers are not always available in person. Please call (336) 703-2300, and we will be happy to take your contact information for a call back, or schedule an appointment for you.
No, the tax value of your property is our estimate of the likely sale price of your property if sold on January 1, 2017.
The impact of a reappraisal on an individual tax bill may vary. The County attempts to consider the overall market, the local market and the individual characteristics of each property when estimating value. Therefore, the value of an individual property may increase or decrease independently of surrounding properties. Changes in your total tax obligation are dependent on the amount and value of personal property you own, the changes in your real property value, and the adopted tax rate for your jurisdiction.
