Fayette County homeowners would get a new property tax break only after tax collections more than double their 2025 level. In any other year the break is zero. In Forsyth County, voters decide whether to limit commissioners to two terms in a row.
Fayette County. Fayette voters see up to three questions, one each for county, school district and City of Fayetteville taxes. Each exemption “floats”: its size is tied to how property tax collections compare with 2025, not set at a fixed dollar amount. In a year when collections more than double the 2025 level, the money above that line would be set aside, and the next year’s break would be paid out of it as the same dollar amount for every qualifying home. Otherwise the break is zero for the next year.
The elected body picks the amount each year: the Board of Education for schools, the county government for the county and the city government for Fayetteville. Each may set it below the set-aside amount, and any leftover money goes to that government’s general fund. The exemptions would begin Jan. 1, 2027. The school and city acts also require homeowners to apply once.
Forsyth County. If voters approve, a county commissioner who has served two full terms could not be elected to another term until four years after the last one ends. The limit would apply to commissioners elected after Jan. 1, 2027, and terms already served, in whole or in part, would count toward it.
Early voting runs through Oct. 30 in both counties [1].
