Roanoke County holds public hearing on 2026 real estate effective tax rate; no public comment
Summary
At a March 10 hearing, the Roanoke County Board of Supervisors reviewed the calculation for the county's 2026 real estate effective tax rate after assessments rose roughly 6%. The board proposed a rate no greater than $1.30 (the current rate), which equates to an effective tax rate increase of about 5.7%; no members of the public spoke at the hearing.
The Roanoke County Board of Supervisors opened a public hearing on the county's 2026 real estate effective tax rate. Board materials presented at the March 10 meeting noted that property assessments rose by approximately 6 percent over the past year. In response, the board proposed adopting a tax rate no greater than $1.30 per $100 of assessed value (the current rate), which the materials characterized as producing an effective tax rate increase of about 5.7 percent.
No one signed up to speak during the public hearing. Because the hearing drew no public comment, the board advanced other agenda business, approving the consent agenda without discussion. The transcript does not record any final adoption vote for a permanent tax rate at that meeting.
The board's next meeting was announced for March 24 at 2 p.m.; further action on the 2026 tax rate may occur at a subsequent meeting.
