North Carolina reassesses property at market value upon sale — your property will be appraised at fair market value by the Forsyth County Tax Assessor, potentially yielding a higher assessed value than the prior owner's. Forsyth County offers senior (65+) and disabled veteran exemptions reducing assessed value; contact the Forsyth County Tax Assessor immediately after purchase to determine eligibility and submit your exemption application. Submit your application before the next countywide revaluation to avoid paying full assessed value during the interim period.
