Kelli Tipton Buchannon, The Cumberland County Assessor of Property, clarifies that the reported 0.85% increase in property assessments for fiscal year 2025-26 is due to new construction and improvements, not a countywide reassessment.

Property values remain unchanged since the 2022 reappraisal, with the next scheduled reappraisal in 2027. The Assessor’s Office emphasizes fairness, accuracy, and transparency and invites inquiries about specific property assessments.
