EMERALD ISLE — Emerald Isle Interim Town Manager Randy Martin presented to town commissioners and the public his recommended 2025-26 budget Tuesday night, calling for a property tax rate of 10.25 cents per $100 of assessed value, down from 16.5 cents in the wake of this year’s county property revaluation. That 10.5-cent rate is slightly less than one cent above the revenue-neutral rate of 9.29 cents. kAmkDA2? 52E2\AC6D6CG6C\DA246DlQECF6QmqFEk^DA2?m kDA2?
