The News and Observer offers online readers the ability to see how their tax bill would change if the first round of bonds pass in November.
The
current rate is $6.04 per $1000 in value. A $1.1 billion bond would
raise taxes to $6.54 per $1000. A $1.5 billion bond means $7.21 per $1000.
What
the calculator does not do is show the effects if the full $5.6 billion
in bonds pass over the next 10 years. In that case, including the
additional operating expenses, the tax rate would reach $11.80 per
$1000 in value — nearly double today’s rate.
