On February 25th, the Board of Supervisors voted 4-3 (Supervisors Jett, McLaughlin, and Ross) to approve the advertised real estate tax rate at .8797 per $100 of assessed value. If you meet the qualifications stated in the public announcement by the Commissioner of the Revenue office you could be eligible to reduce your tax burden.
In addition to the advertised tax rate vote, the Board also voted 7-0 to send a letter to the Commissioner of the Revenue requesting their attendance at the first March Board meeting to explain the reported inconsistencies with this year’s real estate assessments. The Board voiced support for the idea of extending the filing deadline to receive tax exempt status and for assessment appeals, but that appears to be a decision for the Commissioner of the Revenue to make.
