Washington County enjoys a stable economy and
business environment. Sales tax revenues continue to
climb, we have maintained low taxes, and still
manage to provide increased services to our
citizens. We have noted increased population growth
unlike many areas of the region. We are one, of only
a handful of localities in Virginia, that have
neither a BPOL tax nor a merchants capital tax.
Taxes collection rates remain well above the state
average.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, revenues
from government funds totaled $41.3 million.
Property tax revenues, the County's largest source,
were $21.4 million, an increase of $0.6 million over
the prior year. This increase resulted from new
construction in the county. Other local taxes
(including sales taxes, recordation taxes, and meals
taxes were $7.9 million, an increase of $0.5 million
over FY2002.Fred Parker Washington
