Nelson County supervisors on June 2 adopted resolutions updating the FY27 budget to reflect a lowered real‑property tax rate and several line‑item adjustments.
Staff told the board the advertised general‑fund budget used a $0.57 per $100 valuation rate; the board adopted figures reflecting an adopted rate of $0.56. The board also approved a $984,683 transfer to the capital fund to carry over school capital funds for a planned HVAC replacement at Rockfish River Elementary School. Additional adjustments included increases to employee bonus and benefits lines, an agency funding increase for regional services, and other reallocations across contingency and equipment lines.

Why it matters: The adjustments finalize numbers for the new fiscal year, providing funds for an elementary‑school HVAC replacement and updating contingency and personnel lines after work‑session decisions in May.
What’s next: The board approved the appropriations and will proceed with the projects and transfers as budgeted.
