What will Charlotte's $405 million in bonds build?

Charlotte voters decide three city bonds on November 3: $125 million for affordable housing, $20 million for neighborhood improvement and $280 million for transportation. The city says the bonds need no property tax rate increase. (The Charlotte Post, October 23, 2026; the Post's own editorial position is its opinion and is not repeated here)

Your numbers

About 108,000 Black North Carolinians said they were registered but did not vote in 2024, compared with about 83,000 in 2020. (Census Bureau survey estimate)

Who pays

Yes, local tax dollars: the city repays the bonds over time. Residents weigh what the bonds build against the debt; SourceLine takes no side.

Who decides

Charlotte voters on November 3, then the City Council, which decides where the money goes.

What is coming to North Carolina

When SourceLine is complete here, you will see every City Council vote on how the bond money is spent, at your address.

About these figures

Every figure on this page shows the year it describes. Public agencies release their numbers on their own schedules, often a year or more after the work of counting is done. The Census Bureau, for example, publishes its five year community survey each December, and the national reading test is given every two years. That is why some figures are not from this year. SourceLine updates each one as soon as the agency publishes it.

For some counties and small towns, SourceLine has not found meeting records online. Where it has not, we add them as they become available. A page that says SourceLine hasn’t updated a record yet means exactly that.
