Is my property over-assessed in Mecklenburg County?
You're over-assessed when the County's value is higher than what your home would actually sell for — and then you're over-paying every year until you appeal. North Carolina appeals must be filed before the county Board of Equalization & Review adjourns — the adjournment date varies by county (often late spring/early summer), per N.C.G.S. §105-322. Reappraisal happens at least every 8 years; appeal first to the assessor, then the Board.
Honest null: Mecklenburg County's assessment roll isn't onboarded into our live check yet, so we can't pull your specific over-assessment here. Compare your assessed value to recent nearby sales on the county assessor portal — if it's higher than what your home would sell for, you're over-assessed and should appeal by the deadline above.

If the County's number is higher, file an appeal with the County Board of Equalization & Review by before the county Board of Equalization & Review adjourns (spring; date varies).
Present your comparables (and any appraisal) at the hearing.
Most owners who win use a contingency property-tax appeal firm — it costs nothing unless they cut your bill, then takes a share of the first-year saving. About 95% of over-assessed owners never appeal, so the saving is usually left on the table.
