Mecklenburg County warns of fake property notice

CHARLOTTE — There’s a scam letter floating around in Mecklenburg County that is prompting a warning from the county assessor’s office.

According to the county, the office learned that a homeowner got a “sham letter” with a demand for a clearance fee due to the property being transferred after a death. The letter also has a deadline to vacate the property.

That letter is fake, and the county says no officials would mail a letter like that.

If you have questions about any correspondence that you get from the county assessor’s office, you can call 980-314-4226 or email AssessorQuestions@mecknc.gov.
