Blake supports property tax reform that protects homeowners from runaway property tax increases without defunding the communities they live in.

For many North Carolina families, rising property values have not meant rising incomes - they have simply meant higher tax bills.

Property tax relief can help homeowners, seniors and working families stay in their homes, keep more of what they earn and avoid being priced out of communities they have lived in for generations. The goal should be to protect taxpayers from unreasonable increases while making sure our schools, public safety and essential local services remain properly funded.

With Blake in the House, he will be able to advocate for things like relief for longtime homeowners and seniors, protections after major property revaluations, greater transparency and accountability in how rates are set, and mechanisms to keep rising property values from automatically becoming a windfall for government.
