It's June 3d -- you have two days to get your property taxes in the mail. Plus, a JCC planning commissioner asks county supervisors to hold off on pricey government office complex.
I disagree that the supervisors did not raise taxes. By VA law, when assessments rise the rate reverts to the level that would bring in 101% of the previous year's revenue. The supervisors can raise the rate back to the previous rate (or anything in between) but the law calls that an effective tax increase. In our case, a rate of 69 cents would have brought in 101% of the previous year's revenue. The supervisors raised the rate to 83 cents.
