Effective in 1974, The North Carolina General Assembly enacted the Present Use Value (PUV) Program, which allows reduced tax assessments for individuals owning property used for agriculture, horticulture or forestry. This program is voluntary and was created to keep the family farm in the family and allow farmers to continue farming while property values rise from urban growth. Property that qualifies and is accepted into this program is taxed at its “present use value” rather than its market value. The difference between the market value and the present use value is “deferred”. In layman’s terms the property is valued at a lower rate, and therefore the owner’s land is taxed at a lower rate. If for some reason the land becomes disqualified from the PUV program, the deferred taxes for the current year and the previous three years plus interest becomes due.
Additional Qualification Opportunities
In recent years, conservation easements (2002), “working waterfront” (2007), and land managed for wildlife habitat (2008) under a plan approved by the Wildlife Resources Commission became qualified for present use-value assessment.
Basic Requirements
For land to be eligible for present-use value assessment, Macon County Property Appraisers will determine if the land is being operated under a program of sound management. To learn more about the PUV program contact Tom Allen at 828-349-2147 or tallen@maconnc.org or Christie Cabe at 828-349-2182 or ccabe@maconnc.org.
