No Nash County residents and just a handful of land owners in Edgecombe County attended public meetings Monday to challenge recently recalculated property values.
Earlier this year, roughly 1,400 property owners in Nash County and about 1,300 in Edgecombe County formally appealed the findings of revaluations completed last year in each county. All of those challenges were heard and ruled on by county tax officials last month, and any property owner left unsatisfied by the staff ruling was advised to bring the protest this month to county commissioners for a quasi-judicial hearing.
