LC Vehicle Owners Could Pay More Property Tax

Lancaster County vehicle owners may be paying more in property tax to fund upgrades to broadband internet service. The Rappahannock Record reports the board unanimously approved a motion to raise the vehicle property tax from $2.04 per $100 to $3.75. The additional tax could also be used to cover increase health insurance costs and to cover the gap if a lower land use tax evaluation is approved for forested land. The board voted not to increase the real estate tax.
