The purpose of a revaluation is to ensure that property taxes are distributed fairly based on current market data. Property taxes aid in providing services like public education, emergency medical services, public health, law enforcement, affordable housing, and other community services. Hoke County is on an 8-year revaluation schedule.

Instructions for appeal will be included with your assessment notice. The first level of appeal is an informal hearing. This hearing is with Hoke County personnel from the assessor’s office. During this session, the property record card is reviewed. The North Carolina General Statutes places the burden of proof on the property owner to show the assessment is incorrect. Keep in mind that your value may increase, decrease or remain unchanged during the informal process. After the informal appeal, the property owner will be notified by mail of the decision.Tax Assessor
