New NCAR Advocacy Website

Posted on April 2, 2013 by CRCBR

The North Carolina Association of REALTORS® recently launched a new advocacy website:  www.TaxReformFacts.org, to inform the public and real estate industry about tax reform in North Carolina and the impact it will have on our economy.  The site is part of a strategic campaign which includes targeted, online ads in key parts of the state to engage the public in the conversation.

Currently there are two tax bills filed in the NC Senate with more likely to come:

  • Senate Bill 363 – Repeals most state and local privilege taxes and replaces them with a simplified business privilege tax.
  • Senate Bill 394 – A major overhaul of the state’s tax code. This bill includes eliminating the mortgage interest deduction, along with the property tax deduction.  This website will provide updates on NCAR’s efforts to help change the tax code but to ensure that they protect the rights and interests of our industry along the way.

Other ways to learn about tax reform:

  1. Joining the discussion on Twitter (please use #taxreformfacts when you discuss on Twitter).
  2. Engaging with us and sharing on Facebook.
  3. Sending your friends and family to our website to join our mailing list, so we can keep everyone up to speed on the latest tax reform.
