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.

We have trouble paying our taxes now. We do not need an increase. We have a daughter that will not move back to Franklin Co. because of the TAX RATE! My husband and I were born and raised in Franklin County. We would love to live here with affordable taxes.
While no one likes a tax increase, sometimes it's necessary. That being said, I fail to see how a one time hike of over 13% can possibly be necessary, no matter what grand plans are being imagined for it.
This is a ridiculously high amount for the services we get. We provide our own water through a well so other than the roads what else do you get? Of course, some goes to the schools and you expect that. However, I consider it far too high.
I moved my family from wake to Franklin county because of a lower cost of living. With this extreme increase I am offended. I would have never moved to a community with a .99 tax rate. I think this will drastically hurt the growth of the county and thus hurt revenues.
High taxes are the reason we moved out of Wake County. At this rate we should have stayed put. We have made a conscienous effort to support local business whenever possible, increasing taxes will hurt already struggling small business!!!
We are struggling as it is to keep our heads above water! What’s the deal? We already pay the highest taxes in the srare!
the latest assecment incresed the value of my home 28% My house hasn't even recovered from the 30% loss of value in 2008. We should have gotten a reduction 10 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of people here are retired, and on fixed incomes. So far mortage Ins has gone up, the cost of living here is ridiculous, more property taxes will force people to move to a different county. I am seriously considering it. There are no recreational things to do. Why do this?
