Revaluation Community Engagement Update
The Mecklenburg County Assessor’s Office is making tremendous progress in its community engagement efforts in preparation for next year’s revaluation.
The department has branded a new revaluation website, meckreval.com, which provides a good overview of the revaluation process and launched a speaking tour throughout the County.
So far, Assessor Ken Joyner and his staff have conducted more than 60 presentations with City and County boards and councils, civic groups and neighborhood associations. An additional 25 are scheduled and more are being added almost daily.
You can see a breakdown of these presentations by district here.
If you have ideas concerning future community presentation locations, please reach out to Community Relations Coordinator Christine Edwards at 980-314-2802 or Christine.Edwards@MecklenburgCountyNC.gov.
