Morganton property owners aren't expected to see an increase in property taxes next year, according to the city's proposed budget. City Manager Sally Sandy presented the proposed budget to the Morganton City Council on Monday night. It totals about $95 million, which is about $11.5 million less than the 2024-25 budget. If approved, the city's property tax rate would remain 50 cents per $100 of property value.
