Board raises elderly tax‑relief income limit from $30,000 to $33,000
Summary
After a brief public hearing, the board adopted an ordinance increasing the income threshold for elderly tax relief from $30,000 to $33,000; supporters cited inflation and senior fixed incomes.
The Amelia County Board of Supervisors adopted an amendment to the county's elderly tax‑relief ordinance to raise the qualifying income limit from $30,000 to $33,000.
During the public hearing, resident Bobby Lipe said the change was overdue because "with inflation and everything, it's time for the seniors who's on a fixed income to get a little bit of break because our taxes seem to be climbing real quick." The board moved to adopt the ordinance as presented and approved it by voice/hand vote.
The action will be incorporated into the county's tax relief application procedures; staff will update the published forms and communicate eligibility changes to senior services and the public.
