In light of the significant impact caused by Helene, Haywood County has announced a two-year postponement of its countywide property revaluation process. The revaluation, originally scheduled for 2025, will now take place on January 1, 2027. The county has worked closely with the state to ensure this delay is permissible and appropriate given the extent of storm damage.

“Our priority is to accurately reflect the value of properties in Haywood County, especially after a natural disaster that has significantly impacted so many of our residents and businesses,” said Judy Hickman, Haywood County Tax Assessor. “The postponement allows us time to complete a comprehensive reassessment of damaged properties and respond to residents’ concerns.”
Key Points of the Postponement:

No Change in 2025 Values for Most Properties: Property values will remain the same in 2025 unless there has been a change to the property, such as additions, updates, new construction, or damage due to flooding.

Reappraisal Reflects 2027 Market Conditions: The reappraisal scheduled for 2027 will reflect market conditions as they stand at that time, ensuring fair and updated valuations across the county.

Reporting Damage:

Property owners who need to report damage to the Tax Assessor’s Office may complete a Damage Report Form. Forms can be submitted in person, by mail, or via email.

Form: https://www.haywoodcountync.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1071 

Submit Damage Reports to:

Address: 215 N. Main Street, Suite 220, Waynesville, NC 28786
Email: personalproperty@haywoodcountync.gov

This two-year revaluation postponement ensures Haywood County can conduct a thorough reassessment process that acknowledges the community’s recovery journey while providing an accurate reflection of market values in 2027.
