Property Tax Limits on the Ballot | Wilmington News
Description
North Carolina voters face a pivotal decision this November: a constitutional amendment that could cap how much property tax revenue local governments can collect, potentially slashing millions from county budgets and threatening essential services like schools and police. With property taxes funding over half of counties’ general funds, even a modest 2% growth limit could mean steep revenue drops—New Hanover County losing $7 million, Pender County $840,000—forcing tough choices about what stays open and what gets cut. This isn’t just about tax rates—it’s about the future of local government funding and the services you depend on.
