Summary
The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors on March 19 voted to advertise a $117.8 million FY2026 maximum budget and to publish a meals tax ordinance for public hearing. The board also made several budget-level choices affecting sheriff staffing, parks and recreation requests and county health insurance contributions.
The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors voted on March 19 to advertise its proposed FY2026 operating budget and tax rates and to send a meals tax ordinance to public hearing. The board authorized advertisement of a $117,769,609 maximum budget and set the advertised maximum real‑estate tax at 75 cents per $100 of assessed value. The board also voted to advertise a local meals tax ordinance at 4% for a public hearing scheduled April 16, 2025; that motion passed 3–2.
Why it matters: Advertising a maximum budget and tax rate begins the required public-advertising and public‑hearing process the county must follow before adopting a final budget and rates. Advertising a meals tax ordinance starts the formal local consideration of a new revenue source many supervisors said could help fund school construction, public safety and other priorities.
