Property Tax Doesn't Pay Whole Tab
Guilford County hinges its budget on federal and state aid, which total 45 percent of the 1976-77 plan, while property tax contributes about 3 percent. A $4.2 billion valuation with a 43 cent rate would net roughly $17.6 million, but total city, school, and rural district rates could raise a $516 bill for a $30,000 home in High Point, higher with added vehicles and furnishings. The county also relies on a 1 percent sales tax and diverse departmental revenues to fund services, but federal and state funds remain essential.
