Limits on local property tax increases

Official ballot title (quoted exactly)

Constitutional amendment requiring limits on property tax increases by local governments.

Ballot question as set out in the session law and listed by the State Board of Elections.

A YES vote means:

The General Assembly would be required to pass general laws limiting how much local governments’ property tax levies may increase, which may include exceptions.

A NO vote means:

The constitution would not require the General Assembly to limit local property tax levy increases.

What it would change

  • Who is affected: property owners and counties, cities, towns, and other local governments.
  • Where: Article V, Section 2(5) of the North Carolina Constitution.
  • The actual limit would be set later by the General Assembly in general law, not by the amendment itself.
  • Takes effect when the State Board of Elections certifies a majority FOR vote.
  • Fiscal impact: No official fiscal statement accompanies this amendment on the ballot or in the Legislative Services Officer’s summary. Any effect on local revenue would depend on the limits the legislature later sets.
