How is the tax bill of a home determined in North Carolina?
Real property is appraised at 100% of market value and includes land, buildings, structures, and improvements. State law requires counties to reappraise every eight years, but many counties reappraise every four. A bill can be a combination of tax rates. For example, a home inside the City of Asheville and Asheville City School districts will have three separate tax rates represented on a bill: the Buncombe County rate, the City of Asheville rate, and the Asheville City School rate. All rates are totaled to calculate the total tax liability. Tax rate estimates for our mountain communities can be found on page 127 of the Allen Tate/Beverly-Hanks Welcome magazine.

Testimonials
I buy several properties a year, and have worked with multiple brokers in many different markets. The Clark Team understood my gameplan and needs and were eager to jump in and help immediately. Ian and his team were very efficient and expedient in all matters relating to my search, and also once we were under contract through to closing, and post close follow up. They are professional, friendly and easy to work with, and I will continue to utilize their services for future properties.
Jason McIntosh, Brevard NC


Ian was never pushy during any of the house visits we attended which at first came across as a shock but later was so appreciated. He allowed us to make our own decisions and assessments about the home versus inserting his own opinion unless asked. He and Kelsey were extremely knowledgeable about the homebuying process and made our very first home so much easier to find. Ian helped us to find our dream home and we could not love it more. We could not recommend Ian and Kelsey (The Clark Team) more and would highly recommend them to any family, friends or individuals for a home. Thank you two so much for everything!
Alexandra Lesh and Mike Ehlen, Flat Rock NC


We were connected with Ian through Zillow. We felt so comfortable with him during our first call, that there was no question as to whether or not we would use The Clark Team's service for our move from Texas to North Carolina. He showed us many house based on our wide range of requests. The communication with the team was great, and we could not recommend them more highly. If you are moving to the Asheville/Hendersonville area, they will treat you well and help you find your new home.
Jana Holland, Asheville


The Clark team worked with us over the Holidays they were wonderful. Even though it was a holiday they were there for us and alwayss aviable. We would highly recomand them. We were from out of town and where gone during most of the process of buying the house. We knew we were well covered by the Clark team to have your best interest at heart, the professionally handed all the details.
Sue Terpstra


We previously used Ian Clark when we originally purchased the property. And we were very content to use him again the second time. He made things smooth and stress-free. I wish all real estate deals could be so straightforward. Thanks!
Suzanne Fiscina


We loved Ian and Kelsey taking the lead and selling our house for us! They were spectacular from the beginning to end and made it a seamless process for us. We would definitely use them again if selling a house in NC! For anyone looking to buy or sell, these are your guys!
The Westbrook’s, Etowah


After only one brief phone conversation, then a month or so of research, I contacted Ian Clark to help me make an offer on a property THAT day, and he jumped to action, executing the official offer, coordinating the process with the seller, and also contacting me that night to let me know we had a deal -- even though he didn't want to bother me "after hours," but knew I would sleep better that night knowing the sellers accepted my offer. (And he was so right! So appreciated.) The process of buying land always seems to take forever to me, but Ian helped me along the way, keeping track of any extensions we needed to request, offering advice when I needed it, and most importantly, jumping in and helping get the County to respond to my repeated requests for permit information when they failed to respond to me. Ian helped them clear up any confusion they had about what we needed, and got the permit executed within days. He also visited the property in person when needed (reviewing the survey markers, etc.) since I live out of town, and sent pictures and updated me via phone and text. Very thorough, very thoughtful, very considerate. Another thing I loved about working with Ian was his careful listening, his processing of information before responding, and his ability to find the answers if he didn't know them. Also, and probably most importantly, he took me seriously on my intent to find a little spot of land for my retirement home, and even though I didn't make a "big" purchase, compared to some of the properties around there, I never felt like his attention to me was substandard in any way. A 5-star experience in every way.
Sheri Bazany, Sevierville, TN


My husband and I were very pleased with the Clark Team. They went above and beyond our expectations. Most communications were done through Ian he was always available for any questions that we had. He also arranged all inspections related to the house for us quickly, which for us was very important since we live in different state. We are very impressed how far the Clark Team will go to help their clients which is amazing! Very happy clients
Ebrahim & Edita, St Petersburg, FL


Where do I begin? I would recommend The Clark team to everyone I know who is looking to purchase their dream house! They are the best at what they do. To my husband and I, having an open line of communication is key. They were there day or night to answer any questions we might have and put us at ease during the whole process. Kind, caring, trustworthy, and supportive are just a few words to describe The Clark team. We are beyond grateful to them!
Anna Phillips Hendersonville NC


The Clark Team is professional, diligent, and wonderful to work with. They were always available to answer our questions and to show us houses any time we asked for. Highly recommend!
Nathan, Arden


Ian and Kelsey were a great team to have on your side whether buying or selling a home. We were fortunate enough to have them help us with both. After helping us navigate a very difficult buyer's market and find the ideal home for our family, it was a no brainer to have them help us with our next phase to quickly and efficiently sell our home. So, whether you are buying or selling the Clark Team will work with you to understand your buy/sell objectives and help to best position you to achieve your goals. I highly recommend the Clark Team for any of your real estate needs.
Jason Symonds, Asheville, NC


Extremely pleased with every aspect of the purchase process. Ian and Kelsey went above and beyond. We would highly recommend them!
Ann, Lake Toxaway


The one thing that stands out working with the Clark team was their honesty and integrity. When asking them questions, if they didn't know the answer, they found out and got back to you quickly. Refreshing. And that was true of both Ian and Kelsey. And I never felt pressured to hurry up and buy. I really appreciated that. Even after the sale, I called with some more questions, and their responsiveness was just as quick and helpful. They keep you informed and in the loop at all times during your negotiating process.
Gretchen Jack Hendersonville, NC


We really enjoyed working with the Clark Team. We felt we connected with them and they had a strong understanding of what we were looking for in a home. Despite a challenging real estate market, Ian and Kelsey coached us along the way and continued to put us in competitive positions to find the right home for us. They were reliable, accessible, and organized. Fortunately we found our dream home, and hope to be in it for many years to come, but would gladly work with the Clark Team again given the opportunity.
Marin Gibson and David Stolfo, Hendersonville, NC


After patiently showing us homes that weren't exactly the one, we were better able to tell Ian exactly what we wanted, and boy did he delivered! We were thrilled to have found the home of our dreams ... it is exactly what we wanted and Ian and Kelsey made sure we made the right offer at the right time. In today's real estate market, knowing how to position the offer and being quick to act are critical ... this team did both very well. I wouldn't hesitate to use Ian and Kelsey should we ever move again!
Lore Hummel, Laurel Park


We initially came to know Ian this past fall (2021) when we were assessing new housing options in the greater Hendersonville area. The listing agent for a particular property of interest was engaged the day we requested a showing and Ian happened to be on duty. He met us at the property and was polite, professional and engaging. Ian provided all the requisite information about the property and made certain that all of our questions were answered. While we didn’t purchase this property, Ian’s kindness stuck with us. When it came time to sell our vacation home in Hendersonville in May of 2022, Ian immediately came to mind as the realtor we wanted to work with. We scheduled an initial meeting and had the pleasure of meeting Ian’s wife and business partner, Kelsey. They were empathetic to the emotions associated with the decision to sell our beloved cabin and made the process as painless as possible. They communicated with us throughout and were able to secure a contract THE afternoon that the property was posted on the MLS. Their job didn’t end there, nor did their kindness and professionalism. They continued to communicate with us throughout the steps necessary to ensure a successful sale (repairs, etc.) and offered assistance in working with vendors, whenever they could. Finally, they assisted in the closing and supporting us through the finalization of this transaction. We would recommend Kelsey & Ian Clark without an ounce of reservation or hesitation! They are wonderful to work with and we are grateful to them.
Charmen & Ty Quinn


The Clark Team handled the sale of our home with the utmost professionalism and trustworthiness. They were consistently friendly and honest with us. We felt comfortable working with them and felt confident they would provide sincere dedication to the work of selling our property. Communication with the Clarks was easy and reliable. We appreciate their commitment and highly recommend them!
Susan Boffoli, Zirconia, NC


The Clark team always responded quickly and professionally to our needs and questions. They made the difficult process of finding and buying a home much easier. They were very flexible, understanding and helpful! Paperwork was always completed quickly and everything we needed was in order. We would highly recommend them!
Mike and Kim Skipper, Hendersonville


We began working with the Clark team by chance through Zillow. Ian and Kelsey were an absolute blessing. They were patient as we struggled to find a perfect home in this crazy market. I was thoroughly impressed by their professionalism and willingness to put in the work to get us in our new home. I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.
Patrick, Hendersonville


We have just finished the purchase of our new home here in Hendersonville and we could not be more pleased with the service and professionalism provided by Ian and Kelsey Clark of Beverly Hanks Realtors. Despite current market conditions Ian calmly guided us the entire way, and with a deft hand made sure the many tasks involved were taken care of in a timely manner. At no point was the process delayed because of missing paperwork or items left undone. Communication with Ian and Kelsey was excellent, and all our questions/requests were answered in a timely manner. In short, we could not be more pleased and happily recommend Ian and Kelsey as they are consummate professionals.
Chris Anest Hendersonville NC


Although Ian was assisting someone else, he took a moment to speak with us and provided a buyers info packet. The packet had good tips and overall information. Although we had met a few RE agents during our self directed home search, no one else offered a packet of info. We immediately felt comfortable with him. He has a relaxed style and we felt no pressure. That appealed to us. Although we have made real estate purchases in CA previously, this was our first in NC. Ian and Kelsey helped walk us through the differences and different terminology. I would imagine you might be tempted to dismiss a survey where someone marks excellent in every box, but they were just that good! Was there very briefly once. Staff I encountered were friendly, personable and professional. During my working career I managed teams of people and customer service was always an important aspect of my team responsibility. Your team seems to do it very well. Thank you. This current sellers real estate market can be stressful for buyers. We felt we had a good team partnering with us and made what could have been a stressful time enjoyable.
Duane and Gloria Peoples Fletcher NC


They were the best real estate professionals I have ever dealt with. They were always in contact with me. They made sure everything was as it should be. They sold my home and I purchased a home through them. They worked very hard to help me through this transition.
Shelia k8ngry


Thorough, trustworthy, professional, and friendly. We would definitely work with Kelsey and Ian Clark again.
Jay and Shirlee, Tryon, NC


Start to finish the Clark team helped with every detail we needed. Long distance sales are difficult at best but not for Kelsey and Ian!!
Tricia Burnside


We were in good hands with the Clark Team. They represented our interests with aplomb, and made the acquisition of our Mountain Retreat pleasant every step of the way. Professional, knowledgeable, conscientious, reliable, thorough and personable. They consistently went the extra mile. A very good experience over a 6-week process. Thank you, Clark Team of Kelsey and Ian!
Doreen and Ken Szymanski, Charlotte, NC


The Clark Team were absolutely wonderful to deal with in the closing of my home in Fletcher. As this was a 100% site-unseen buy and all communication was via E-mail and phone, they were very accommodating in answering all questions and doing a tour of the home via FaceTime. From the onset, the team was friendly, polite, professional and eager to help. I would absolutely do business with them again and highly recommend them in helping sell or buy your property.
Robert Elliott - Fletcher, NC


The Clark team felt like they were working for us. Before, during and after our search for a home they were professional and helped us to find a home by listening to our needs. We would use them again and point anyone who wants a "GREAT" agent to use the Clark team. Thank you Ian and Kelsey.
Glenn Biron; Hendersonville


Kelsey and Ian provided an accurate market analysis and timely updates throughout the entire process, from the signing of the listing agreement through the closing. They helped with the purchase and installation of new carpeting. They supervised the necessary repairs. They attended the closing at the attorney’s office. We trusted every aspect of our house sale to our realtors. This was the best and easiest home sale we ever experienced, thanks to the Clark Team.
Michael & Judy- Fletcher, NC


Kelsey was thorough and detailed throughout the whole process. She always answered my questions promptly and made sure to explain the steps of home-buying to us when we were uncertain about something. She made us feel comfortable, expecially since this was the first time we have ever bought a home! She is genuine, honest, and respectful. She knows the area well and is knowledgable about the home-buying process. She was patient, kind, and attentive to our needs. We never felt like "just another client," but appreciated and valued. She went above and beyond!
