General Tax Limited to 15c, but What About Special Purposes?

Record #:
17123
Abstract:
The total of the State and county tax on property says the constitution of North Carolina, shall not exceed fifteen cents on the hundred dollars value of property. However, counties are able to fix a higher rate for three reasons: the state does not levy any property tax under this provision; the fifteen cent limit does not apply to taxes for school purposes; the fifteen cent limit does not apply to taxes for special purposes.
