FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Cumberland County Tax Administration has mailed revaluation notices to the County’s property owners following completion of the 2025 Revaluation of real property within Cumberland County. As required by North Carolina state law, all real property must be reappraised at least every eight years. The purpose of the revaluation is to ensure tax assessments are uniform, fair and equitable for all citizens. Cumberland County is currently on an eight-year revaluation cycle, with the last revaluation conducted on Jan. 1, 2017.

Revaluation notices have now been mailed to all Cumberland County property owners and should be delivered in the coming days. Assessed values will also be available online beginning next week. As property owners receive the notices and have questions, they are encouraged to go to cumberlandcountync.gov/tax where they will find more information about the revaluation including a revaluation timeline and information about how to appeal their values if they disagree with the new value.
