Executive Summary

The Town of Southern Pines Fiscal Year 2026 (FY 26) budget has been developed with a continued focus on supporting a wide array of high-quality services, providing for the safety and security of the community, and carrying out our plans and capital investments that have been determined through community input and feedback involving multiple outreach efforts.

Our proposed 29-cent ad valorem (property tax) rate—paired with a Moore County rate anticipated to dip below 30 cents—positions our increasingly recognized and vibrant community as one of the best values among North Carolina’s most sought-after locations.
