If you got a notice in the mail in February that your property has a much higher value in 2022 – and you know that’s going to lead to a higher property tax bill – well, you’d better speak soon or forever hold your peace.
This week, Guilford County government sent out notice of the April Board of Equalization and Review meeting and included this statement: “Anyone desiring to appeal the listing or appraisal of any property in Guilford County to the Board of Equalization and Review must submit an appeal form either online or on paper to the Tax Department by May 16, 2022. The Board will adjourn from accepting new appeals after this date but will continue to meet and consider appeals that have been submitted prior to the deadline.”
Almost all home, business and property values are much higher after the 2022 countywide “reval” than they were the last time the county conducted a reval – in 2017. Since a property owner’s tax bill is based on the value of his or her property, many county property owners can expect to see a much higher property tax bill when those are sent out in July.
However, if you have good reason to think the Guilford County Tax Department is valuing your property too high, you have the right to argue your case in front of a board of fellow citizens: The Board of Equalization and Review – aka the “Board of E and R.”
If you do want to make your case that your value is too high, the meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 26, at 9 a.m. is being held “to consider a set agenda for appeals of property tax value.”
The meeting at this time of year gets an early start after a new countywide revaluation because the board can end up in very long meetings.
The April 26 meeting will be held in the John H. McAdoo Conference Room on the third floor of the county-owned BB&T building at 201 W. Market St. in Greensboro. Once you walk out of the third-floor elevator, turn right, walk down the hall, and you’ll be at the entrance of the conference room.
The Board of E & R schedules hearing appointments for each appeal. Owners and their representatives will be contacted in advance regarding the time of the appointment to discuss the matter.

Scott- I will be glad to make a new headshot for you anytime at no charge
Thanks but I have grown attached to the mystery man with the mustache image. LOL.
We are sick of the property tax’s going up it’s getting to be tax this tax that it makes people want to go live we’re tax’s are less there is not a lot here in Greensboro to do if you are young and single unless you have kids this place has nothing. There is crying baby’s everywhere and if you don’t have kids your out. This town is running over with panhandlers and people coming up to you asking for money; the trash on the streets is uncalled for there is no one picking it up AND YOU WANT A TAX INCREASE ON OUR PROPERTY I SAY WE ARE PAYING ENOUGH.
Sunshine: Your grammar is offensive. Were you educated in Guilford County?
Totally agree 1001% Sunshine, and you didn’t mention the daily gun and assault violence or the lack of law enforcement for speeding and intentionally exceedingly loud mufflers or lack there of on the out of control muscle cars and oversized trucks and suv’s or every other wanna be with the completely blacked out windows that will run you off the road or fly by you doing 50, 60, or 70 miles per hour in a 35 or 45 mile per hour zone. Not to mention the excessive speeding and total disregard for stop signs in neighborhoods where it is supposed to be 25 or less. The excessive amount of accidents and pedestrians being hit in greensboro I’m sure is at an all time high over the past two years. And the garbage and trash being tossed out of vehicles on streets everywhere is completely disgusting. This is just a small sample of what is going on around the area. City and county I’m sure. Is this the new normal we want for our communities? Is this the legacy we are leaving for ourselves for the very real very near future? Forget for a moment the so called billions of dollars being invested in the area by Boom and Toyota or anybody else claiming to come here. Your taxes and values may be being inflated for these speculations alone. Will it ever slow down. “To Infinity, And Beyond! “
Grammer-schmammer. If you understand what somewhat is saying, it doesn’t matter how they say it.
Scott, I realize you’re not the poster child for a responsible adult, but the folks who comment on your stories, present company excluded, are a bunch of sad sacks from the island of misfit toys. They’d complain about the sun coming up tomorrow or the sky being too blue as long as government were behind it. I hate to break it to you guys, but death and taxes aren’t going anywhere regardless of who you elect or how much you whine and complain. Much of your problems in life exist because of poor choices on your part. I realize blaming the government is easy and convenient but the fact that most of you either are or were too sorry to leave your cave, go out and kill something then drag it back isn’t a result of taxes. It’s because you are unmotivated and unaccountable for your outcomes in life. Anyway, have a nice day boys.
That’s just STUPID!!!
That’s what SHE said!
