CHARLOTTE — The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners is set to vote on its $2.5 billion budget Tuesday evening.
The plan calls for a property tax hike of $0.96 per $10,000 of home value.
The median home price in Mecklenburg County is $377,000, so the average homeowner would pay around $36 more per year if passed.
On Monday, Charlotte City held a vote on its $3.6 billion proposed 2026 fiscal year budget.
The city’s budget, proposed by city manager Marcus Jones on May 5, included at least a 3% increase for all employees, a fee increase for solid waste, water, and stormwater of a total of $7.49 a month, and plans to streamline city government.
The county commissioners will begin their meeting at 6 p.m. in the chamber of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center in Uptown.
