Motor Vehicle Valuation Process
The Alamance County Tax Department values registered motor vehicles based on the State-adopted TEC DataSystems valuation manual. While this manual is generally reliable and closely aligns with other resources such as Kelley Blue Book and NADA, there may be discrepancies.
If you believe the valuation provided by the TEC DataSystems manual is inaccurate, we encourage you to reach out to our office to discuss your concerns.

Our staff is ready to assist you with various adjustments that may address your concerns effectively. If these initial measures do not resolve the issue, we offer two alternative options for valuation:
- Submit a Bill of Sale or Appraisal: You may provide a bill of sale or an appraisal for our review. This documentation will help us reassess your valuation.
- Written Request of Appeal: If you prefer, you can submit a written request of appeal directly to the Tax Administrator.
We are committed to ensuring your concerns are addressed in a fair and timely manner.
Submitting a Bill of Sale and Appeal Process
When you present a Bill of Sale, our Tax Department staff may adjust the valuation based on the actual purchase price, with depreciation considered since the vehicle was acquired. Please note that the purchase price is distinct from any trade-in values, dealer fees, or promotional discounts.
If you wish to contest the valuation further, you can submit a written request of appeal. To facilitate this process, please provide the appraiser with as much detail and documentation as possible to accurately represent the vehicle’s value. The appraiser will assess the information and determine any necessary adjustments.
Should you remain unsatisfied with the appraiser’s determination, you have the option to present your written request of appeal to the board for further review and consideration of your case.
