CAM Billing Considerations

  • Banking sector concentration (BofA, Wells Fargo, Truist) drives office demand
  • Periodic revaluation cycles (every 4 years) create step-function tax changes
  • Rapid South End development adding significant new supply
  • Hurricane risk (inland wind damage) affects insurance structures
  • North Carolina Machinery Act governs assessment procedures statewide

Market Context

Charlotte's periodic revaluation cycle (typically every 4 years) creates predictable but significant step-function changes in property tax assessments, making CAM reconciliation in revaluation years particularly complex.
