Property Tax Levy Limit Amendment

North Carolina · November 3, 2026

Require the state legislature to pass laws limiting the amount that property taxes may increase

A yes vote means The state legislature would be required to pass laws that limit how much property taxes can increase each year.
A no vote means Property tax increases would continue to have no statewide limit, and the state legislature would have no requirement to pass limits.
Simple explanation
Right now, your property taxes can go up pretty much as much as local governments want. This measure would tell the state legislature they have to create a rule that puts a cap on how much property taxes can increase each year — kind of like setting a speed limit on tax hikes instead of letting them go as fast as they want.
