Year after year my real estate taxes go up. Not just a little but a lot. Over the last three years, my tax bill has increased by nearly 50%! Please do your best to stop all the spending and reduce taxes.
There is no need to be so far below the area median on taxes. Higher rates would support service quality and drive higher value land uses.
Real estate taxes have already increased year over year; with the serious energy rate issues Virginia is currently facing with Dominion, now seems like a terrible time to increase the base cost of living (home+utilities) even further. Look for other funding avenues—strongly oppose increasing property tax rates multiple years in a row… it’s unsustainable.
What financial benefits does the city receive from the residential and commercial developments? What costs does the city incur from residential and commercial developments?
Thank you for your contribution!
