In the slide presentation, Mr. Brim presented the following information: Stokes County 2025 Reappraisal. Effective Date: January 1, 2025 What is a Reappraisal, AKA Revaluation? Ar reappraisal of all Real Property within the County. Ana appraisal is an opinion of value that should equal the true value (Market Value) of the property. Market Value: The most probable sale price of a property ini terms of money in a competitive and open market, assuming that the buyer and seller are acting prudently and knowledgeably, allowing sufficient time fori the sale, and assuming that the transaction is not affected by undue stimuli. Real Property, also referred to as real estate or land, is: The land itself Buildings, structures, improvements, or permanent fixtures on land All rights and privileges belonging or in any way appertaining to the property Goals of al Reappraisal Achieve fair and consistent values across the entire County Conduct in a manner that the taxpayers are informed and educated of the process Have at finished product that accurately depicts Stokes County's Market among all property classes Why? The Machinery Act of North Carolina mandates that all 100 counties perform a Reappraisal of all Real Property at least every 8 years, based on NCGS 105-286. 105-286 - Time for general Reappraisal of Real Property Octennial Cycle = Each county must reappraise all real property in accordance with the provisions of G.S. 105-283 and G.S. 105-317 as of January 1 of the year set out in the following schedule and every eighth year thereafter, unless the county is required to advance the date under subdivision (2) of this section or chooses to advance the date under subdivision (3) of this section. Why Stokes County Chooses 4 Public Service Companies are the reason Stokes County conducts a reappraisal every 4 years. Examples of Public Service Companies in Stokes County: Duke Energy, Duke Energy, Duke Energy, Duke Energy, Duke Energy Energy United EMC Norfolk Southern Piedmont Natural Gas River Street Communications Windstream And Duke Energy Why We Mention Duke Energy So Many Times Duke Energy represents approximately 92.7% of Stokes County's entire Public Service Duke Energy alone represents approximately 16.7% of the entire Stokes County Tax Base Ifa county's sales ratio falls below 90% in the fourth or seventh year of a reappraisal cycle, Example: If Stokes County decided to conduct an eight-year reappraisal cycle as opposed to a four-year cycle, and in the fourth year of the cycle, our sales ratio dropped to 67%, NCDOR would equalize the Public Service Companies' Valuation to reflect the actual sales ratio. Equalization did take placet for Stokes County in 1987; therefore, in 1993, we began conducting By conducting a four-year reappraisal cycle, this scenario is not possible. Public Service Companies' Valuations are appraised by NCDOR. The Tax Office has no input in Companies' Valuation of $895,396,690 Tax Revenue generated = $6,196,219 Duke Energy' Valuation for Stokes County = $830,287,610 Why Does This Matter In Regards To Conducting A 4-Year Vs. 8-Year Reappraisal? then equalization occurs for Public Service Companies. four-year reappraisals. the valuations. Sales Ratio: Is defined as: The ratio between the Assessed Value and the Selling Price of a piece of property. The Sales Ratio tells you the Level of Assessment.

January1,2025. Key Factors Driving the Current Real Estate Market market in an upward trajectory. strong Real Estate Market in Stokes County. Supply: The current amount of available properties in Stokes County remains low; thus, fueling the Demand: Remains high and, coupled with a limited supply, creates the perfect recipef forac continued Region: North Carolina ranks third in Real Estate Growth in the United States. Also, Stokes County's proximity to major cities such as Winston-Salem, Kernersville and Greensboro, makes our County a very desirable place to live. The Winston-Salem Northern Beltway, project will help with commute times; thus, making the King, Pinnacle and Germanton areas of Stokes County even more desirable Have a game plan: To have a successful reappraisal, it is very important to have a detailed work plan that involves not only the Revaluation Staff but also the GIS/Mapping Department. Communiçate with the public; inform, update and educate Show the taxpayers the Tax Office is fair, approachable and efficient to potential future residents. Keys to a Successful Reappraisal Public Relations: Customer Service is something we pride ourselves on. We listen to the taxpayer. We don't always agree, but we listen. We review. We explain our position in detail. If we are wrong, we fix it. Our staff are courteous professionals that are willing to explain and help the taxpayer Review of all qualified arm's length sales that occur during the study period (lanuary 1, 2021- December 31, 2024). We are on pace to have approximately 3,000 qualified arm's length sales to assist us in revaluing the entire County (Stokes County has approximately 31,500 parcels of land). ) Arm's Length Sales - A sale between two unrelated parties, each of whom is reasonably knowledgeable of market conditions and under no undue pressure to buy or sell. Once the Tax Office has reviewed in detail each qualified arm's length sale, we provide our GIS/Mapping Department with the sales data. That data is imported into the GIS software and anyway they can. Steps Taken To ConductASolid Reappraisal is added as a sales layer. This layer is very instrumental in providing a visual aide to the appraisers. They are able to see locational trends, property class trends, etc. Also, it is a great tool to use while answering taxpayer questions. Counelt Mountain! umber of Sales 2021 to: 2023 Sale Sale Price Price Maximum: $56-4.000 6/20 - Voar of Sale 2021 2022 2023 Tax Steps taken continued... Market Area Analysis: The study of the relevant forces, which influence property values within the Establishment/Review, of Market Areas (also referred to as Neighborhoods) The Tax Office currently boundaries of a homogenous area. Market Areas can be established by: Property Type; example, Cell Towers has the County divided into approximately 415 Market Areas. Specific Subdivisions; such as, Pilot Bluff in King (Residential Housing) Geographic Location and Boundaries; Mountains, Rivers/Streams, Townships, etc. Market Areas are used to blend property values across the County. This creates transition between different areas of the County. An example of this: Our anticipated 2025 Reappraisal base rates will start at approximately $10,000 per acre in the northeast corner of the County and transition to over $40,000 per acre in the southwestern portion of the County, with some lots in specific Market Areas (Subdivisions) selling much higher. The use of market areas makes the transition of value across the County flow better and helps create a good estimate of what property is worth. Data Collection and Field Reviews At tremendous amount of time is spent on data collection. The following information is collected: Square Footage (Sketched Drawing) Exterior Siding (Brick, Vinyl, Stone, etc.) Roof Type (Gable, Hip, etc.) and Cover (Asphalt Shingles, Metal, etc.) Floor Coverings (Hardwood, Ceramic Tile, Vinyl, Carpet, etc.) Bedroom and Bathroom Count HVAC (Heat Pump, Gas Pack, etc.) Overall Condition Quality of Construction Attributes; such as: Porches, Decks, Sunrooms, Garages, Carports, Basements, etc.) Outbuilding and Misc. Improvements (Storage Buildings, Swimming Pools, etc.) Reappraisal Process for Land Land review is conducted by a desk top method of reappraisal. Reasons the Tax Office uses this approach: Byu using our highly detailed County Maps, we are confident in our ability to fairly and accurately value land. It's more Time Efficient (Walking over 400 square miles is impossible with the size of our staff). We are able to compare surrounding properties while viewing maps to ensure consistent adjustments based upon specific features of the property such as topography, access, road Nothing is foolproof. There is no substitute for an actual physical inspection oft the property. Based upon taxpayer's request, the Tax Office will be more than happy to visit the properly frontage, shape, etc. and walk the land during the appeal process. SOV (Schedule of Values) The Schedule of Values is an essential required document that serves as the blueprint for appraisers "Uniform schedules of values, standards, and rules to be used in appraising, real property at its true value and at its Present-Use Value are prepared and are sufficiently detailed to enable those tor render opinions of value throughout the four-year reappraisal cycle. NCGS 105-317 requires that: making appraisals to adhere to them in appraising real property." SOV Continued...

The taxpayer has the right to request an onsite visit. The Tax Office will schedule at time to meet with the taxpayer if needed or requested. The Tax Office will mail a decision letter, usually within two weeks after reviewing the appeal. Ifthe taxpayer is not satisfied with the Tax Office's response, they have the right to appeal their property value to the Board of Equalization and Review.
