Revaluation and real estate appeals

Cumberland County completed its 2025 Revaluation, and real property tax assessments are updated to reflect current market value. The previous revaluation was January 1, 2017, and North Carolina law requires counties to conduct property revaluation at least once every eight years.

The county’s Property Tax Revaluation page explains the 2025 schedule, market value basis, tax assessment updates, and appeal timing.

For real estate value disputes, the Real Estate Appeals page states that informal appeals for the 2027 tax year are being accepted, with a February 5, 2027 deadline.

Property search results are not the same as recorded land documents. For deeds and other recorded land records, use the Cumberland County Register of Deeds remote access site, which includes land record indexing data from 1754 through 1976 as scanned index books and land record images from Book 1 to current.

The remote access site requires users to acknowledge a disclaimer before searching. Recorded documents are unofficial on the site, and official records are located at the Cumberland County Register of Deeds office.

For recording rules, the Register of Deeds provides recording requirements for documents such as deeds and deeds of trust.
