On January 22, 2025, the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors convened to discuss several key issues impacting the community, including updates on the county's reassessment process and upcoming budget meetings.

The meeting began with a commendation for the Fluvanna County Department of Social Services, which successfully coordinated a Christmas sponsorship program that provided gifts to 24 seniors and 119 children. The board expressed gratitude to Jane Wilson for her exceptional coordination of this initiative.

A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the reassessment update presented by Fred Pearson from Pearson's Appraisal, now part of Vision Software Company. Pearson reported that homeowners in Fluvanna County could expect substantial increases in property assessments, with residential properties potentially seeing increases between 25% and 60%. This rise is attributed to a robust real estate market, with Pearson noting that smaller homes are likely to experience even higher increases. The reassessment process is currently underway, with notices expected to be mailed out once the necessary updates to property records are completed.

The board also outlined upcoming meetings, including a regular meeting scheduled for February 5, where the county administrator will present the budget proposal. Additional budget work sessions are planned for February 12 and February 19, focusing on the county's fiscal year 2026 budget and the Fluvanna County Public Schools budget.

The meeting concluded with a reminder about the public comment period, encouraging community members to engage with the board on relevant issues. The board emphasized the importance of transparency and communication, particularly regarding the reassessment process, and assured constituents that they would be informed about the timeline and procedures for addressing any concerns related to their property assessments.

Overall, the discussions highlighted the board's commitment to addressing community needs and ensuring that residents are well-informed about significant changes affecting their properties and local governance.
