What this means for multifamily underwriting

Between revaluations taxes are stable and predictable. The real event is the next countywide reval — confirm the year before assuming flat taxes through the hold.

Transaction type breakdown

Sale / Acquisition
Low

Value is set at the last countywide revaluation and held until the next one — a sale does not trigger an interim reassessment. Risk concentrates in the revaluation year.

Refinance
Low

Refinance has no effect on assessed value.

Ownership Transfer
Medium

Ownership change does not trigger interim reassessment.

Opens after revaluation notices; informal review then Board of Equalization & Review (spring)

Analyst Notes

Payment/delinquency timing should be tied to the live county due-dates source, not a static string. Combined rate depends on whether the parcel is inside Charlotte or another municipality.
