Property Record Feedback Tool 1 Owners of real property in Mecklenburg County now have a means to review their property record information online, and provide any feedback to the Assessor’s Office. The following example illustrates how the tool can be used. 1. Click on a link for the tool from a web page or directly: http://propertycheck.mecklenburgcountync.gov 2. The tool opens up to its search menu. You may search for a property using Name, 8-9 character Parcel Number, Street Address (location of property), Mailing Address (owners location), or even a combination such as name and street: Kermit Sesame St. When using the combination, the checkbox for “Search All Items Separately” should be checked. 3. Select the criteria and then enter a search parameter. In the example, an address search is requested for Latta Plantation, 5225 Sample Rd. 4. A return set of choices to view is displayed. There may be several addresses, or in this case, several buildings at the address to review. Click on “Review Property Characteristics” beside your choice. If none of the choices are correct, you may click on “Search Again”. For our example, we will look at Building Number 1. Property Record Feedback Tool 5. The first Property Information screen provides fields for the user to enter contact information. These fields provide the means whereby the Assessor’s Office can clarify any feedback provided. All feedback will be reviewed by the Assessor’s Office, and verified with the owner(s). The remainder of the screen shows general information about the property, and lists the attributes recorded in County records. Space for notes and comments are provided adjacent to each information item. 6. Following the listing of attributes is the sketch information for the structures on record. The sketches serve as the basis for determining the area of the building, a main component of valuation. The main components in the sketches are listed below, with area calculations, and a space for comments and feedback. 2 Property Record Feedback Tool 7. The last section lists the “Special Building Features and Yard Items/Out Buildings” (SFYI) listed in the property record. A space is provided beside each item for notes/feedback. Space for additional notes on SFYI is provided below. At the bottom, another note section is provided for any general information not specific to a particular attribute. After reviewing the information and verifying the feedback, the user can click on “Send Message” to complete the communication to the Assessor’s Office. 8.
