Summary
Real property taxes; notice of proposed increase. Adjusts the notice requirements for public hearings held to increase property taxes in localities that conduct their reassessment of real estate more than once every four years. The bill requires such localities to provide notice of any such hearing on a different day and in a different notice from any notice published for the annual budget hearing. Under current law, such hearings are required when a locality seeks to raise its property tax rate above a rate that would collect more than 101 percent of the amount of taxes collected for the previous year.

What changed in the latest version
65 added · 63 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to § 58.1-3321 of the Code of Virginia clarifies the calculation for reducing the tax rate when a real property assessment results in a tax increase of one percent or more. Specifically, it now states that the rate of levy must produce no more than 101 percent of the previous year’s real property tax levies. Additionally, it consolidates language regarding public hearings and the treatment of assessments for new improvements, ensuring these do not factor into the new tax levy. This change impacts how local governments adjust tax rates in response to property reassessments.
