Bill to change NC counties under property tax hike freeze hits snag
A North Carolina bill to modify the list of counties under a property tax revaluation freeze (Senate Bill 474) stalled in the Senate due to constitutional concerns, despite Governor Josh Stein's support. The bill aims to remove Buncombe, Harnett, and Scotland counties from the freeze while adding Chowan and Pamlico, but faced opposition from Republican Sen. Steve Jarvis, who cited constitutional issues with a section of the bill.
