Wythe County board authorizes advertising of FY 2025—6 budget and tax rates for public hearing
Summary
County staff presented proposed tax rates and the recommended revenue and expenditure budget; the board authorized staff to advertise the tax rates and budget for public hearing on May 27, 2025. No tax increase was proposed.
Wythe County staff presented the proposed tax rates for fiscal year 2025—6 and asked the Board of Supervisors on May 13 to authorize advertisement of those rates and the recommended budget for public hearings.
A staff member told the board that no tax increase was proposed for the coming year. The presentation listed the real estate rate at 51' (51 cents), personal property (as read) at $2.22, machine/utility at about 50' (50 cents) and merchant's capital at 56' (56 cents). The staff request included authorization to advertise the tax rates and to advertise the recommended revenue and expenditure budget and the school board budget for public hearing on May 27, 2025.
The board authorized staff to publish the required notices. During the meeting a motion was made and seconded to advertise the rates and budgets; the roll call was not read aloud in the transcript but the chairman announced the motion carried.
The exact total of the recommended revenue and expenditure budget as read in the transcript was unclear (the figure was spoken as "$117,106 $165,758"), so the board's authorization was recorded as approval to advertise the recommended budget as presented by staff rather than final adoption of the budget. Final adoption and any vote on tax rates will occur after the required public hearings.
