Brunswick County property tax raise proposed

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (StarNewsOnline) —  Brunswick County’s proposed budget includes the first property tax increase since 2011.

If approved, the tax rate would jump from 44.25 cents per $100 valuation to 48.50 cents. The owner of the average home in Brunswick County, valued at about $186,000, would pay about $900, up from $825.

The county manager says that a revaluation of property values earlier this year forced the increase.
