Welcome to the electronic appeals process for the Johnston County Tax Administration Office. It is our intent that this process will provide you an additional method of appealing your 2026 Assessed Value. Real Estate Appeals for the 2026 tax year must be received at the Tax Office by 5:00 PM, April 28, 2026.
Johnston County's most recent County Wide Revaluation was effective January 1, 2025. This means your 2026 property value is determined using sales and other relevant information that occurred on this date or prior (usually not more than 2 years). Sales, appraisals, listings, etc. cannot be considered for the 2026 value, unless they are between January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2025.
Taxpayers wishing to APPEAL may do so for the following reasons:
Property value is significantly higher or lower than its actual fair market value as of January 1, 2025. See NC G.S. 105-283 for definition of “market value”.
Property value is inconsistent with the values of similar properties.
Appeals CANNOT be considered for the following reasons:
Percentage increase or decrease from the previous assessed value.
Percentage increase or decrease as compared to any area’s average increase or decrease (county, region, area, neighborhood, etc.)
Your financial ability to pay any anticipated tax. (Note: An increase or decrease in value does not mean you will pay more or less taxes.)

Items to have available before beginning:
