Shooting Death, Tax Notices and Contractor Surrender Lead Greensboro Headlines
Greensboro, NC – March 12, 2026 – A deadly shooting, property tax notices and a contractor license surrender are leading local headlines this week.
Greensboro is seeing a mix of public safety updates, financial changes for homeowners, and accountability in the construction industry this week.
Deadly Shooting on Joseph McNeil Avenue
Greensboro police are investigating a deadly shooting on Joseph McNeil Avenue. Officers responded to reports of gunfire and found one person who later died from their injuries.

Property Tax Assessment Notices Arriving
Homeowners across Guilford County, including Greensboro, are receiving new property tax assessment notices this week. Officials say updated property values could mean higher tax bills for some residents.
County leaders are encouraging property owners to review their assessments carefully and file an appeal if they believe their property value is inaccurate. With home prices rising in recent years, many residents may notice significant changes compared to their last assessment.
Contractor Surrenders License After Renovation Stall
A Greensboro contractor has surrendered his license after a homeowner reported that a $107,000 renovation project stalled for nearly two years. State licensing officials confirmed the surrender following an investigation.
The homeowner said the prolonged delays left the property unfinished and caused financial strain. Officials are reminding residents to verify contractor credentials and monitor project progress closely before and during major home renovations.
As the week continues, residents are encouraged to stay informed and connected, especially as public safety investigations and property assessments move forward.
