The New Assessment Law North Carolina Bill for Tax Reforms
The proposal envisions a statewide reassessment of real estate and personal property to true value on May 1, 1918, lowering the overall tax rate.

The act aims to make taxation fairer, fund six months of school, and shift toward a business-like revenue system.
