PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE PUBLIC HEARING
A Public Hearing is held tonight to hear citizen input on a proposed real estate tax increase; details
of said proposed real estate tax increase are as follows:
1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property, excluding additional
assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year’s total
assessed value of real property by 6.68 %.
2. Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy
the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total assessed
value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $.55 per $100 of
assessed value. This rate will be known as the “lowered tax rate.”
3. Effective Rate Increase: The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors proposes to adopt a
tax rate of $.70 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate
and the proposed rate would be $.15 per $100, or 27%. This difference will be known as
the “effective tax rate increase.” However, individual property taxes may increase at a
percentage greater than or less than the above percentage.
4. Proposed Total General Fund Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real property tax
rate and changes in other revenues, the total General Fund Budget of Pittsylvania County,
Virginia, will exceed last year’s General Fund Budget by 7%.
