Greensboro Daily: Reappraisal Pushback, Budget Sessions, and Wendover Work

Top local headlines

Property reappraisals are driving some of the loudest conversations in Guilford County right now, with residents expected to show up at recent public meetings to push back on steep valuation jumps and the tax anxiety that follows.

• Property reappraisals spark protests and appeals: County officials have emphasized that reappraised values are only one part of the final tax bill, since tax rates are set later during budget season. Still, neighbors say the new notices are arriving at a tough time for household budgets. The appeal deadline being widely shared is May 15, 2026.
• City budget sessions move into neighborhood rec centers: Greensboro is holding district-by-district community budget sessions designed to explain how the city budget is built and to collect resident priorities before adoption. Sessions are scheduled at 6 p.m. across all five council districts through March.
• Wendover (U.S. 70) lane closure planned: Drivers who use Wendover Avenue should plan for overnight lane impacts beginning March 10, when crews are scheduled to close a left lane of U.S. 70 West between Gatewood Avenue and Homeland Avenue for sign foundation work, weather permitting.

Worth a look this weekend

Looking ahead, Guilford Courthouse National Military Park has announced a slate of anniversary programming tied to the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, including a battle reenactment scheduled for March 14–15 at Country Park, plus demonstrations and living-history style events.

What it means for Greensboro

If you got a reappraisal notice and feel it misses the mark, the most practical next step is to document what you can (recent comparable sales, correction of property details, and photos of needed repairs) and pay close attention to the appeal timeline. Meanwhile, the city’s budget sessions offer a rare chance to weigh in early, before line items harden into a final plan.
