Yesterday four different real estate tax rates were introduced at City Council:

• $1.23
• $1.22
• $1.21
• $1.20 (current rate)
• $1.19

Knowing that the city faces a thirty million dollar budget shortfall, I don’t see Council keeping the rate the same (or lowering it). As Northside property values stayed roughly the same last year, it looks like we’ll all be getting a larger bill next year.

Council will vote on the new rate on April 12th.

CHPN has an ongoing discussion on the matter as does Hills and Heights.

Ross loves his family, Richmond, and beer (in that order). He is the master and commander of the good ship RVANews. Occasionally he takes a picture or two.
