Tax Assessment

The Assessor’s office is responsible for the listing, assessing and discovering of all real and personal taxable property in Avery County.
The method by which appraisals are conducted is regulated by the State of North Carolina and is intended to assure the fair & equitable taxation of all the residents of North Carolina. The specific guidelines for Assessing property are described in subchapter II of Chapter 105 of the General Statutes of North Carolina, also known as “The Machinery Act.” More information about this process may be seen on the links below or the Avery County Real Estate Page.

 

Click Here to Search Real Estate, Sales, and Tax Bills

The Avery County Real Estate Page now allows you to search all real property by Owner’s Name, Parcel number or Physical Address. This includes properties which have not been included on our mapping website in the past, such as Condominiums & Leaseholds. From those searches you may now download a Property Record Card. In addition, there is a sales search tab which allows you to create a sales report that details which properties have sold in your Neighborhood, Township or County-wide.

Also available is the New Tax Bill Search tab. You may search tax bill up to ten years back by name, parcel number, account number, or bill number. You may also narrow your search for unpaid bills only. Motor vehicle bills may also be search on this tab
