CHARLOTTE — Wednesday, the Mecklenburg County manager will present the recommended budget for the fiscal year of 2026.
We reported back in January that commissioners are already facing a budget deficit in Mecklenburg County, meaning there could be an increase in property taxes.
Once the budget is presented, there will be an opportunity for public comment later this month.
A vote on the proposed budget is expected in June.
The city of Charlotte already unveiled its proposed budget for 2026, and it doesn’t include any property tax increases.
