[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone read any of the budget materials before posting here? They explain their declining revenues because of commercial real estate and investment income declines and costs went up with inflation. Assessment are based on market values and other set factors. They’re not based on vibes or a desire to stick it to you. Plus you can appeal. They may raise the tax rate and/or add a meals tax. Remains to be seen. Taxes in VA are much lower than many states. [/quote] They are not doing this to stick it to anyone. They are doing this because they can. Because they think there is a lot of wealth here based on all the crazy $$$$ new construction and some new small businesses popping up. They want a piece of it, so they are going to skim it off the top of everyone based on what top 2% can effortlessly afford. [/quote]
