Tax rates up in some counties, level in most
Guilford is among 32 counties that raised property taxes this year, according to the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners.
Sixty counties kept taxes steady, including Durham, Cumberland and Forsyth. Mecklenburg and six other counties saw tax decreases.
Guilford's rate hike, which adds $18.70 to the tax bill for the owner of a $100,000 home, was the county's fifth tax increase in six years.
