2027 Revaluation: Upcoming Dates & Important Reminders
Related Resources
PUBLIC NOTICE
Over the coming months, Brunswick County will be sharing information and reminders about the county’s latest revaluation, which goes into effect at the start of calendar year 2027. Property owners are expected to receive a notice showing their updated 2027 property value by the end of March 2027.
A revaluation (also known as a reappraisal) is a routine update to property tax values to bring them back in line with the current sale price of properties. Our state certified in-house appraisers have diligently and carefully researched and analyzed sales in our local market to determine an estimate of market value for all properties as required by North Carolina law.
Below are some of the key reminders to keep in mind as we work toward finalizing assessed values, as well as some upcoming dates when the Board of Commissioners will discuss and/or take possible action on items related to the 2027 Revaluation process.
The Brunswick County Tax Office also has a robust website featuring full details and answers to questions about the 2027 Revaluation at brunswickcountync.gov/revaluation.

Important Reminders
Often when we hear about revaluation, we immediately think about property taxes. However, the purpose of a revaluation is to determine a property’s current market value to ensure everyone pays their fair share of the costs for the local government services they use and rely on.
Your property taxes help your County, municipality, school district, and/or other public entities provide essential services like education, public safety, ambulance service, fire protection, health clinics and inspections, parks, libraries, planning and community enforcement, municipal roads, and more.
Ultimately, your property’s appraised value is only one factor that determines how much property tax you pay. Here are some things to keep in mind as you prepare to receive your new assessed value in 2027:
- An increase in your property value does not necessarily mean your next tax bill will increase.
- It is currently impossible to determine how your new assessed value affects your property taxes until the County, your municipal government, and/or other public entities that serve your property adopt their FY 2028 operating budgets and set tax rates. This is most likely to occur in late spring or early summer 2027.
- The 2027 Revaluation is still not complete, so be cautious of any claims about how much property values or taxes are increasing, whether by dollars or percentage. Wait for your official mailing from Brunswick County to see what your property’s new assessed value is (estimated to arrive February or March 2027).
-
Market value is set by the choices of buyers and sellers in the marketplace. The Brunswick County Tax Office does not create market value. Your local tax office analyzes market sales to determine market patterns and trends in different locations across the county.
- Property values will not change uniformly throughout the county or even within your city or town—a lot depends on market conditions and recent sales in your neighborhood. Your assessed value could increase, decrease, or remain the same.
