Interim Property Assessor Eric Cregger provided an overview of reappraisal updates and a formal presentation of the Schedule of Values to the Board of Commissioners at its regular meeting on Aug. 19, 2025. A public hearing for the current Schedule of Values is set for Sept. 2 during the regular Board of Commissioners meeting at 5 p.m. A physical copy is available for public inspection in the Property Assessment office at 182 College St., Asheville and is available online here.
The primary purpose of the Schedule of Values is to provide information about the methods and procedures used to develop the 2026 assessed property values. The schedule outlines methodology, procedures, rules, terminology, categories, and classifications used by county appraisers. Methods, procedures, and rules detailed in the Schedule of Values will be used to value property until the next countywide reappraisal in 2029. Valuation schedules are based on current market data to estimate fair market value of all properties.
