    Mecklenburg's sales tax rises today, raising household costs

    Mecklenburg County's sales tax rate increased from 7.25% to 8.25% after voter approval, generating $19 billion over 30 years for infrastructure projects. Charlotte households will pay an average of $20/month more in sales tax, while property taxes rose by 1.89 cents per $100 of assessed value to fund police and fire departments. Prescription drugs, groceries, and soon diapers, wipes, and feminine hygiene products are exempt from the sales tax.
