The Augusta County Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing for the proposed fiscal year 2022-2023 budget tonight at 7 p.m.
The advertised general fund budget details $114.7 million in general fund spending, a 7 percent increase from the original FY 2022 budget. Of the general fund revenue, local revenues total $100.3 million (a seven percent increase over FY22) and combined state and federal revenue totals $13.1 million, a decrease of approximately $1 million from FY22.
The budget reflects a flat real estate tax rate at $.63 per $100 of assessed value and a flat personal property tax rate of $2.60 per $100.
