Council sets 2025 vehicle-license fee at $0, accepts $181,000 county grant
Summary
Percival's council voted unanimously to set the 2025 vehicle-license fee at $0 and accept a one-time $181,000 reimbursement from Loudoun County to offset FY25 revenue loss; staff noted the fee can be readopted next year if needed.
The Percival Town Council unanimously voted Feb. 13 to set the 2025 vehicle-license fee at $0 and accept a one-time $181,000 grant from Loudoun County to offset the town's FY2025 revenue loss.
Finance staff explained the practical options: adopt the $25 vehicle-license fee as budgeted, or set the fee to $0 and request the county grant to replace the revenue. Town staff noted the action would not permanently remove the fee, and the council can readopt it in 2026 if needed. Councilmembers raised concerns about the next-year budget impact but ultimately concluded accepting the county grant and offering residents a one-year break was prudent; one member called it a "gift."
