In September 2021, the Buncombe County Board of Commissioner established the Ad Hoc Reappraisal Committee after hearing resident concerns following the 2021 Reappraisal. The committee is made up of eight county residents including representatives of the Board of Equalization & Review and at-large community members.
The goals of this committee aligned with the County’s Racial Equity Action Plan and centered on three focus areas:
- Identify homeowner concerns about the reappraisal process
- Provide guidance for future assessments
- Input into equity concerns
The Ad Hoc Reappraisal Committee will meet again at a date to be announced in order to finalize the presentation that will go before the Board of Commissioners.
