Real Estate Appraisal Visits

Real Estate Appraisal Visits

Wake County Tax Administration appraisers will, on occasion, visit a property to verify that the characteristics of the property correspond with the data in our property records. Appraisal visits may include taking outside measurements of new building(s) or addition(s), reviewing story heights, and examining the exterior for updates or changes that could influence the property’s assessed value. An appraiser may also take a photo of the exterior for the property record card.

Tax Administration appraisers will carry county-issued badges and have Wake County magnetic signage on their vehicles. A visit typically takes 15 – 30 minutes, but could be longer depending on the size or complexity of the property.

Validating the accuracy and completeness of property information allows the County to correct inconsistencies and yield accurate appraisals for real estate properties throughout Wake County.
