Residents in Huntersville could see a big rise in their bills too.
The town manager is proposing a 5.15 cent property tax increase.
For a home worth $460,000, that would be an extra $19.75 a month.
The town manager says the property tax increase is necessary for the new town hall project, the voter-approved transportation and park bonds, the hiring of full-time firefighters, and adding 10 new sworn police officers.
