Sales Questionnaires to be Mailed

North Carolina law requires each county to conduct a sales-assessment ratio study that measures the sales price of real property in relation to the county’s assessed value. This information is then used to adjust public service company values for taxation, determine funding for school facility needs and contribute to the fair and equitable assessment of all properties. Therefore, the Lee County Appraisal Department will mail out letters this week to individuals and businesses that purchased property in 2009 and whose sale has not already been validated or disqualified. If you receive a letter, please complete the questionnaire and return to the Lee County Appraisal Department to help us better serve the citizens of Lee County.
