**Cary Town Council approves higher property taxes in new $573 million budget**

The Cary Town Council voted to approve a $573 million budget that includes an increase in property taxes. The budget allocation reflects the town's spending priorities for the fiscal year ahead and represents a rise from the previous year's funding levels.

The property tax increase was part of the council's broader fiscal planning to support municipal operations and services across the Wake County community. The higher tax rate will affect Cary property owners, though the council determined the increase necessary to meet the town's budgetary needs and fund planned initiatives.
