County revenue staff told the Board of Supervisors that property tax revenue for fiscal year 2026 is projected at about $12.3 million and constitutes roughly 40% of the county's budget; commissioner of revenue, treasurer and finance director reviewed office responsibilities and said bills have been mailed.
County revenue officials gave the Charles City County Board of Supervisors a fiscal 2026 revenue update on Oct. 21, reporting that anticipated property tax revenue, including real and personal property, is in line with the board's adopted budget at about $12,300,000.
The county's commissioner of the revenue, who presented assessment responsibilities, said the office is charged with maintaining accurate real and personal property records, administering tax relief programs and that tax bills have already been mailed. The commissioner thanked the board for approving funding for new software to support the office and invited residents with billing questions to call the office.
The treasurer's office outlined responsibilities for tax collection and investment of public funds and said it is coordinating with the commissioner of the revenue to resolve billing issues. The county finance director said the department continues to monitor revenues and expenditures for FY26, is preparing audits and noted that September revenue and expense reports will appear in the board packet next week; he said revenues and expenses are currently in line with the adopted budget.
Board members asked to review the board packet for items of concern and said they appreciated the prompt responses to constituent billing inquiries. No formal actions or changes to tax policy were proposed at the meeting.
