About these numbersSources, county file May 2026
Tax value
Tax value from the county’s last revaluation, not a market price. County file, May 2026.
Tax value (the county's assessed value) as of its last revaluation (NC reappraises every 4-8 years), not a market estimate. Farm and forest land in present-use value is taxed on a lower use value.
Estimate
Rough estimate: based on typical prices per acre of tracts of 100 acres or more sold across North Carolina, adjusted to Gaston's land values. Not tested to our accuracy standard. Typically within about ±40% (measured statewide on held-out sales of 100 acres or more). The range shown is wider: about 8 in 10 past sales fell inside a range this wide. Land only; any building is not included.
Parcel outline
The outline and its edge lengths are measured on the parcel map the map draws; the aerial loads from the public imagery named under it.
