The money is paid back over time instead of all at once. Cabarrus County has a General Obligation Bond Impact Estimator that lets property owners see <\/a>how the bond could affect their property taxes.<\/a> You can search by your address or enter your property’s value to get an estimate. For the average home in Cabarrus County, valued at $389,599, the estimated cost is about $29.22 per year. The final cost will depend on the total bond amount and the final funding plan.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What happens if it doesn’t pass?” _builder_version=”4.27.7″ _module_preset=”default” body_link_font=”||||on||||” body_link_text_color=”#2a61bb” custom_margin=”||10px||false|false” custom_padding=”15px||15px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]If the bond is not approved, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College will not receive this funding. That means some building projects may be delayed or put on hold until other funding is available. Delays can make construction more expensive and limit the College’s ability to serve more students and prepare workers for local employers. This could also make it harder for the College to meet the community’s education and workforce needs.Your Vote Matters!<\/strong><\/h2>\n
