Depending on the volume of appeals received by the tax office, the appeals period could last until December 1^st of the revaluation year. However, hearings can extend beyond this date.

If you’ve received your 2025 property tax bill but not your Appeal Decision Notice, any changes made under appeal will apply retroactively to your 2025 property tax bill.

To receive the 1.5% discount offered by paying your 2025 tax bill by August 31^st, your bill must be paid before September 1^st, even if your 2025 tax appeal is still under review or Board of Equalization & Review hearing is after August 31^st, 2025. Note: Your bill will not accrue interest until January 6^th, 2026.

If you receive a reduction in real estate value under appeal, and you have already paid your 2025 Wilkes County Tax bill, then you will receive a refund for the overpayment.

Should you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the Wilkes County Appraisal Department to inquire about your 2025 real property appeal. For appeals information, the Wilkes County Appraisal Department can be reached Monday through Friday from 8:30AM-5:00PM at 336-651-7301.
