Reform NC Property Tax.
This bill proposes constitutional changes to North Carolina property tax laws, with a primary focus on allowing the state to use area median income as a standard for granting tax relief. It also modifies the existing homestead circuit breaker to adjust income eligibility limits and expands funding for property reappraisals. Because the core amendment requires voter approval, the bill currently sets up a referendum to be voted on by the public in November 2026. If approved, the change would enable the General Assembly to create property tax exemptions based on local income levels across the state. Additionally, the legislation updates rules for nonprofit housing exemptions and directs grant money to county commissioners to support more frequent property valuations.
