Mecklenburg Condo Owners Will Have to Wait!

As Mecklenburg County property owners anxiously await the results of the first mass real estate property revaluation since 2003, the County Assessor's office is still looking at homes sales data from the fourth quarter 2010. The County, however, remains confident it can meet its can meet its target date of February 7 for mailing notices of new property values to property owners - at least to some of us, that is.

Assessor Garrett Alexander, speaking to a group gathered at Clinton Chapel AME Zion Church, advised that the County's approximately 27,500 Condo owners will not know their new property values until sometime in March. When asked why the delay, Assessor Garrett advised that the County needs more time to analyze the condo market data.

For those interested in more information on the status of the revaluation, you can attend the County Commissioners meeting tonight at 6pm at the Government Center. The Assessor's Office is expected to provide the Commissioners with an update. The meeting will also be televised.

Don't forget that the County Assessor's Office has a very informative website that should answer many of your questions. You can watch videos, access media reports, view power point presentations of all the regional public information meetings, as well as access your own property information.
