PALMYRA — Fluvanna supervisors on Wednesday were considering the county’s proposed $61.2 million budget and a potential 12 percent increase in the real-estate tax rate.
The board had not made a decision on either matter by press time. It was unclear if the board would vote Wednesday night.
The proposed budget would represent a decrease from the current $67.4 million spending plan.
The proposed tax rate of 56 cents per $100 assessed value has divided residents, with some seeing it as a necessity to pay for schools and services while others say it would be unfair to make property owners pay more during the economic downturn.
The real-estate tax rate now stands at 50 cents per $100 assessed value.
