Wake County Revaluation

NEW ASSESSED TAX VALUES ARE NOW POSTED IN THE TAX RECORDS FOR INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES AND HAVE BEEN MAILED TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

The new value is effective January 1, 2024. Your 2024 tax bill will be based on this valuation multiplied by a tax rate to be set by the County and your municipality (City of Raleigh) next spring. Do NOT use the current 2023 tax rates to figure your 2024 tax bill since the new rate may change from the current rate. For general information about the appeal process, see the information included in the Wake County notice, call the County at 919-856-600, or go to www.WakeGov.com/tax.

Some basic data for your consideration

We have extracted Oakwood data from the downloadable files available from the Wake County Real Estate Data Property Data files site. The 2020 valuation data was downloaded on Dec 30, 2023 from file RealEstData12292023.zip. The 2024 valuation data was downloaded on Jan 26, 2024 from file RealEstData01262024.zip

We separated the information for residential zoning (R-10 or other R-xx) from that for other zoning such as PD, OX-3, etc. You will find the residentail data first in all data except the raw CSV data which just has the extracted data that we used as a basis for the other formats.

The following summary information will help you put your own data in context.

To Appeal or Not to Appeal?

An appeal can result in either a higher or lower valuation, so don't appeal unless you have good reason to believe that your valuation is too high. For this you generally either need an appraisal or a comparison with surrounding properties showing that your is out-of-line. That's where all the data on this site comes in handy.

There are two kinds of appeal, with different deadlines.
