We, concerned citizens, sign this petition in an effort to implore the Franklin County Commissioners to support NO increase in property tax in Franklin County. Franklin County currently has one of the highest tax rates in the State of North Carolina and it is our belief that further increases would place an undue burden on our the current families of Franklin County.

The proposed 13.8% Property Tax Increase would raise taxes on the average Franklin County home (valued at $180,529) by $216/year.

The proposed Franklin County tax increase is 600% higher than the annual rate of growth for the US Economy.

In addition to signing the Petition, Petitioners are asked to contact Commissioners directly and attend public meetings on May 27th at 4PM and June 1st at 7PM.
