Plain Language Summary

This bill removes three specific properties (identified by tax identification numbers) from the City of Greensboro's corporate limits, effective June 30, 2025. Properties in the deannexed area will no longer be subject to municipal taxes beginning July 1, 2025, though the City retains the right to collect any outstanding tax liens from before the effective date.

Arguments in Favor

• •Supporters of deannexation argue that property owners in these areas should not be required to pay city taxes if they do not receive city services or wish to be governed by the county instead.
• •Deannexation can allow property owners to reduce their tax burden and give them greater control over local governance decisions affecting their land.

Arguments Against

• •Opponents argue that deannexation reduces the City of Greensboro's tax base and revenue, which could limit the city's ability to fund services, infrastructure, and public programs for remaining residents.
• •They may also contend that deannexation creates fragmented governance and removes properties that may benefit from or depend on city services.
