The Harnett County Board of Commissioners approved the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget during the Special Meeting on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. The budget operates from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.
During the July 14, 2026 Board of Commissioners meeting, the Board approved amending the budget ordinance following Governor Josh Steins’ signing of Senate Bill 474 on July 7. The legislation allows Harnett County to move forward with its scheduled property revaluation.
The Board approved the property tax rate of $0.63 cents per $100 of assessed property value, which is an increase from the previous rate of $0.591 cents, which remained unchanged for the past four years.
As Harnett County continues to grow, more than 20 departments remain committed to providing essential services that residents rely on daily.
