Separate from the SB 889 revaluation freeze covered in MB-F-1, North Carolina's General Assembly voted to send a constitutional amendment to voters requiring limits on local government property tax levy increases. Passing the House 73–46 and the Senate 31–15, headed to the November 2026 statewide ballot. A levy cap, if approved, would permanently constrain every ad-valorem-adjacent revenue stream in the state, including municipal service districts funded off the same property tax base. The amendment notably leaves the actual numeric limits undefined, to be set by lawmakers later if voters approve the underlying constitutional change.

Watch: How the ballot campaign unfolds, and specifically whether the "details to be determined later" structure becomes the central argument opponents use against the amendment.
