Why do my property taxes increase, if the City's tax rate hasn't been raised since 1987?

faq
Two reasons: First, Mecklenburg County has raised its property tax rate 3 times just in the past 5 years and 9 times since 1987. The tax bill property owners get shows the total amount of the property tax owed - both City and County. Second, if the value of your property has increased significantly, your taxes went up when your property was revalued EVEN THOUGH the City Council rolled back the tax rate to make the tax impact neutral for City residents.

faq
The City can cover current services, including higher costs for them, without a rate increase. The increase is recommended because some problems are becoming too great to ignore without seriously and negatively impacting the economic health and livability of the City. The additional revenue would pay for new police officers, needed road improvements, revitalizing neighborhoods, and increasing the availability of affordable housing.
