Your estimated impact
Note about calculations: General Obligation (GO) bond projects are completed over several years, not all at once. The County only borrows money as projects move forward, so any tax increase would generally be phased in over time rather than appearing all at once.
For example, if your home is valued at $300,000, the estimated annual tax impact of approving both proposed bonds (totaling $400 million) would be up to $150 per year once all the funds have been borrowed.
The first opportunity for any tax increase would be in FY 2028, which begins July 1, 2027. Homeowners would not see the full estimated $150 increase that first year. Instead, the tax impact would appear as projects begin and bond debt is issued.
Additionally, North Carolina law requires that the ballot show “the highest rate charged for similar debt over the maximum bond issuance term.” In this case, that means the highest interest rate over the past 20 years, since the County is anticipating a 20-year bond. The requirement aims to show a conservative, worst-case scenario rather than what taxpayers would actually pay.
