Get Ready to Oppose Real Estate Transfer Tax Increases in North Carolina

Early voting begins on October 18.
 
For those of you living in the counties listed below, when you go to the polls, you will be asked to vote on a proposed tax increase:  an increase of 200% in your county real estate transfer tax (home tax). 

If passed, your real estate transfer tax will go from 0.2% to 0.6% of a home’s sale price.  The additional tax means an additional $800.00 on a $200,000.00 home!

  •     This land transfer tax is a regressive tax that unfairly targets one group of citizens.
  •     The land transfer tax in an unreliable income source.  Disappointing real estate tax revenue in an  uncertain market could lead to additional tax increases.

Whether you live in an affected county or not, this is matter of extreme urgency – these taxes need to be stopped before they have a chance to spread like kudzu!
