Board approves remaining 2025 tax rates, records April 10 prior votes
Summary
The Surry County Board adopted resolution 2025-07 setting remaining 2025 tax rates (passenger buses, machinery and tools, contract carriers, merchants capital, farm machinery and tools) and noted that rates for real estate and personal property were acted on April 10.
Miss Perkins, speaking for county staff, summarized resolution 2025-07 and said the measure "is the resolution that is adopting the tax rates for Surry County for calendar year 2025." She explained that rates for real estate and personal property were voted on April 10 and that the current resolution formally records and completes the remaining categories advertised for public hearing.
Board members sought confirmation that the currently listed categories were the only remaining rates being voted on today; Miss Perkins confirmed that those items were properly advertised and that including all categories in a single resolution aids recordkeeping even if some had been adopted previously. A motion to adopt resolution 2025-07 was made and seconded; the board approved the resolution by voice vote and the chair announced the motion carried.
The transcript records the categories named by staff: passenger buses; personal property tax relief; machinery and tools; contract carriers; merchants capital; farm machinery and tools. Staff and members discussed that some categories had been previously addressed April 10 and that the resolution consolidates the record for calendar-year 2025 tax rates.
