North CarolinaBill would add mapped Marine Corps areas to Jacksonville
The proposal would place mapped areas around Camp Lejeune and other Marine Corps sites within Jacksonville, while limiting city taxes to what state and federal law allow.
What it does
The proposal would add mapped areas at Camp Lejeune and other nearby Marine Corps sites to Jacksonville’s city limits. The two Camp Lejeune areas include only U.S.-owned land.
If state and federal law allow, property in the described territory as of January 1, 2026, would be subject to city taxes for tax years starting July 1, 2026, or later.
The proposal says annexation would not give Jacksonville new power to regulate or influence federal activities or operations at the named Marine Corps sites.
Argument forIncluding these mapped areas in Jacksonville could help the city plan for nearby land as part of its community.
Argument againstSome property could face city taxes for later tax years, which may add costs if state and federal law allow the taxes.
