Valuation Increases For 77% Of Chatham County’s Parcels, Combined Value Of All Properties Goes Up 18%
More than three-fourths of the nearly 46,000 Chatham properties assessed in the county’s state-mandated reappraisal process saw valuations increase, but so far officials say requests for appeals of those valuations has been “underwhelming.”
Meanwhile, Chatham County’s tax office is manning the phones and checking email to assuage concerns — and fight misinformation — arising from the revaluation notices, which were mailed out on March 26.
The total overall valuation of parcels in Chatham County, when finalized, may show an increase by as much as 18%, according to Tax Administrator Jenny Williams, with 77% of parcels having gone up in value and 23% having gone down.
