Charlotte Considering Annexing Part Of Cabarrus County

POSTED: 5:20 pm EDT July 18, 2008
UPDATED: 5:55 pm EDT July 18, 2008

Charlotte city leaders are thinking of doing something they've never done before -- annexing part of another county.

They're close to taking Crosspointe On The Green. Part of the neighborhood is in Mecklenburg County, part is in Cabarrus County.

So, those residents would become a rare breed: Cabarrus County and Charlotte city residents. They have concerns.

Vince DiOrio said, "Well taxes. I don't mind being part of the city of Charlotte but I don't want to pay Charlotte taxes."

Their taxes would go up more than $0.45 for $100 of valuation. That's about $900 more each year for the average home there.

Students would still go to the same schools.

Charlotte City Council votes a week from Monday. If the annexation passes, it wouldn't go into effect until next summer.
