Amid rising assessments, BOS to hold first public hearing of FY26 budget process
Louisa County homeowners could face another hike in their real estate tax bills. They’ll have a chance to share their thoughts on the potential increase during the first public hearing of the Fiscal Year 2026 budget process Monday night.
Taxes could climb because the assessed value of real estate, excluding new construction and improvements, rose 8.12 percent this year, and the board of supervisors, which sets the real estate tax rate as part of the annual budget process, hasn’t proposed a decrease to offset the jump.
Supervisors have advertised a level tax rate of 72 cents per $100 of assessed value to fund a proposed $190.5 million budget for FY26. If the board sticks with that plan, property owners whose assessments increased will see their tax bills rise. Real estate taxes are calculated by multiplying a property’s assessed value by the tax rate.
A resident whose home is assessed at $400,000, for example, would pay over $200 more based on an eight percent increase—roughly the county-wide average. Supervisors would have to lower the rate to 66.6 cents to offset the tax hike.
Annual reassessment notices were sent to property owners in early March. Assessments are determined by the county assessor’s office, which operates independent of the board of supervisors. The valuations are largely based on market values.
Supervisors haven’t changed the real estate tax rate since 2015 when they hiked it four cents. Over the last three years. they’ve weathered calls to slash the rate as assessments on homes have soared. Assessments jumped an average of 12 percent in 2022, 14 percent in 2023 and nearly eight percent last year.
While the board extended a five percent rebate to taxpayers two years ago to temporarily ease the pain of rising taxes, they’ve been steadfast in sticking with a level rate. Board members have contended that the county needs the additional revenue generated by increased assessments to offset the ballooning cost of county services, which they attribute to inflation and rapid residential growth.
Supervisors have also pointed out that Louisa has some of the lowest tax rates in the region.
This year, the county is expected to pull in nearly $100 million from general property taxes, including levies on homes and automobiles. That’s almost $8 million more than last year.
The board will tap that money to help fund a county budget that’s expected to reach $190.5 million. They’ll draw millions more from the state and federal government, local taxes on meals and hotel stays and licensing and permit fees, among other sources.
Of the roughly $190.5 million advertised budget, about $175 million is earmarked for the county’s daily operations, covering everything from employees’ salaries to fuel for fire trucks. The operating budget is set to jump about 12 percent over last year, an increase driven, in part, by a $5.5 million rise in debt service payments, modest pay hikes for staff and more than a dozen new staff positions.
The other $15.4 million would go to the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), which pays for big ticket items like new school buildings, emergency service equipment and infrastructure upgrades.
Next year’s CIP is significantly slimmer than this year when the county funded more than $30 million in school construction. Capital spending for the coming fiscal year is driven mostly by major renovations and new emergency services equipment.
The capital budget includes about $5.5 million for the General Services Department, with $1.95 million of that earmarked for an expansion at the Louisa County Animal Shelter and about $900,000 set to cover renovations at the county’s circa 1905 courthouse. It also includes nearly $5 million for the Fire and EMS Department, mostly for remodeling, fire trucks and ambulances and other equipment.
If the reaction on social media to the latest assessments—and the potential jump in residents’ tax bills—is any indication, Monday night’s public hearing will be a busy one. Dozens of homeowners complained on Facebook last week that the assessed value of their property has risen significantly again this year and their real estate tax bills are becoming unsustainable.
“In the last 5 years, our [assessment] has almost jumped $150,000. This is ridiculous. We have no improvements [and] neither [do] the majority of our neighbors,” one community member wrote.
Other residents wondered why supervisors aren’t lowering the tax rate to offset rising assessments.
“I understand why the assessment and value of both the land and structure continue to rise year after year…However, I'm starting to look into the tax rate…and question some of our BOS reps and other personnel on why that hasn't been lowered,” one resident wrote.
Some community members reminded their neighbors that four seats on the board of supervisors are on the ballot this November, so residents who aren’t happy with the board’s handling of county finances have a chance to make a change.
“Remember this when it's time to vote for bos. Local government [has] gotten to be as bad as federal government with taxpayers’ money,” one community member wrote, calling for a Department of Government Efficiency to scrutinize local spending, akin to what President Donald Trump and his advisor and the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, have brought to Washington.
Another community member said that residents need to do more than complain on social media.
“You can Facebook your concerns all you want, but until we all question our board of supervisors about how county money is being spent and demand changes, nothing will change,” she wrote.
Supervisors will hold a public hearing on the advertised budget at their April 7 meeting. Budget adoption is slated for later that month, and the new fiscal year kicks off July 1.
How are real estate assessments determined?
The value of real estate is assessed every year in Louisa County by the county assessor’s office, which falls under the umbrella of the Commissioner of the Revenue.
The county hired Theresa Born as its assessor in November, replacing Rich Gasper. Born comes to the county with 37 years of experience in property valuation, most recently working at the Virginia Department of Taxation.
Though the board of supervisors formally appointed Born, as required under state code, her office is separate from and independent of the body. While the board sets the real estate tax rate as part of the annual budget process and appropriates revenue derived from local taxes to fund county services, it plays no role in the assessment process other than determining how often the county assesses real estate.
As required by state law, the assessor’s office bases its assessment on a property’s market value, drawing on sales data from surrounding and similar properties. The assessor accounts for a range of property characteristics, including a home’s sales price, square footage, age, condition and location.
In determining an annual assessment for existing homes, the assessor doesn’t factor in the first-year value of newly constructed homes. A representative of the assessor’s office typically visits each property in the county at least once every five years to evaluate its characteristics.
The Virginia Department of Taxation checks the assessor’s work via its sales ratio validation process. The ratio compares the sales price of property to assessed values. In 2022, Louisa County’s assessments were 3.9 percent lower than actual sales based on a review of 363 transactions, according to a FAQ released by the county last year. In 2023, assessments were 5.9 percent below sales prices based on a review of 265 transactions.
The FAQ also points to anecdotal evidence to illustrate that county assessments often fall below market values, highlighting sales data for three transactions. A home assessed at $323,800 in the Mineral District traded for $360,000 in March 2024, per the explainer, while the sales price of a property in the Patrick Henry District matched its $213,500 assessed value. Another property in the Patrick Henry District, assessed at $68,500, sold for $140,000 a year ago.
The county provides a process by which property owners can appeal their assessment. To learn more about how to appeal your assessment and the appeals process, click here.
The county also offers a real estate tax relief program for income-eligible elderly and disabled residents. To learn more about the program, click here.
Why does the county assess real estate every year?
Per state code, localities with a population of less than 50,000, like Louisa, are required to assess real estate only once every six years with the board of supervisors empowered to determine the frequency.
But Louisa County assesses annually. Why?
Louisa County Board of Supervisor Chair Duane Adams (Mineral) told Engage Louisa in an interview last month that the county opts for a yearly assessment for a couple reasons. For one, Adams said, annual assessments more accurately reflect what a property is worth. And, in his view, they’re more equitable for taxpayers.
As an example, Adams pointed to the Great Recession, which hit in 2008 and caused real estate values to drop. If Louisa assessed only every five years, as some localities do, homeowners would’ve been stuck paying more in taxes than they should, based on an inflated assessment, he said.
On the flip side, Adams noted that annual assessments also lessen the impact on taxpayers as real estate values rise. He argued that taxpayers can more easily adjust to tax bills that rise incrementally over a few years as opposed to experiencing a significant increase all at once.
“Let’s just use an example that property values [are] going up 5% a year, but a county only assesses every five years. For the first four years, you're getting a huge discount. In year number five, you get sticker shock because, all of a sudden, you’ve got a 25% increase that's due in the first year…You're getting a [fairer] assessment…on an annual basis,” Adams said.
The presence of the North Anna Nuclear Power Station also plays a role in the county’s assessment calendar, Adams said.
Dominion Energy, North Anna’s owner, is the county’s largest taxpayer. The company chipped in more than $11 million on behalf of the plant last year, about seven percent of the county’s operating budget. Adams said the county wants to ensure that Dominion’s property is assessed as accurately as possible because of its impact on the county budget, and a yearly assessment allows for that.
“Dominion's ratio in our total tax bill allows us to keep that low tax rate of 72 cents per $100 [of assessed value]…If that became stagnant on the low end, where would we [be],” Adams asked.
Supes to consider rebuilding skatepark, amending litter ordinance and more
Aside from the budget public hearing, supervisors will consider several other items of note Monday night, including construction of a skatepark, an honorary road naming and amending county code to crack down on litter.
Board poised to move forward with skatepark
Monday night is shaping up to be a good one for skateboard enthusiasts.
Supervisors will consider appropriating up to $160,000 for construction of a skatepark adjacent to the Betty Queen Center. The facility will be built, in part, on the foundation of a skatepark that previously occupied the space. It’s expected to include numerous ramps, benches and fencing.
Skaters have pushed county officials to rebuild the park during the last several budget cycles. They’ve reminded supervisors that when the county dismantled the old skatepark more than a decade ago to make way for a temporary home for the Health Department, board members promised they’d replace the facility when the department found a permanent home. The agency moved into a county-owned building in the Town of Louisa in late 2023.
Supervisors signaled they’d make good on that promise in the coming fiscal year, tentatively allocating funding for the park in the FY26 capital budget. The board will instead consider okaying the expenditure on Monday night, using money from the Parks Maintenance and Enhancements Fund. The fund includes nearly $460,000, earmarked for upgrades and upkeep at county parks.
According to the meeting materials, the bulk of the project’s budget—just over $90,000—will cover the cost of ramps. The county plans to spend about $21,000 on fencing and between $25,000 and $48,800 on concrete work and “usage improvements.”
Deputy County Administrator Chris Coon said in a memo that the cost of the concrete work depends on whether county staff can build the forms. If so, the cost will likely come in at the low end of the range.
Beyond the initial plans, Coon said the county could add other enhancements in the future, including lights and shade structures.
“These enhancements would increase the park’s usable hours and provide a more comfortable space for users. These additional improvements would be considered after completing the initial scope of work,” Coon wrote.
Supes to consider code change aimed at cutting down on litter
Last April, the board of supervisors formed a work group tasked with crafting a comprehensive plan to crack down of litter, a persistent problem that has sparked repeated complaints at public meetings and prompted the formation of Louisa Clean, a volunteer group that spends weekends picking up trash along county roads.
In forming the work group, which includes Cuckoo District Supervisor Chris McCotter, Green Springs District Supervisor Rachel Jones and seven citizens representatives, board members said that while they applaud Louisa Clean’s efforts, volunteers alone can’t shoulder the burden of controlling litter.
The board charged the work group with exploring a wide range of litter control tactics and strategies, including the possibility of strengthening county ordinances aimed at litter prevention, beefing up enforcement of ordinances already on the books, and hiring crews to clean up some county roads. Supervisors asked the committee to present its recommendations to the board a month later.
Nearly a year later, the litter work group is finally poised to present a proposal—albeit one more limited in scope than what some initially envisioned. The proposal primarily focuses on cracking down of commercial trash haulers who violate the county’s solid waste ordinance.
Supervisors will hold a public hearing and consider amending the solid waste ordinance to implement the work group’s recommendations. Specifically, the amendments would make it a Class 2 misdemeanor for commercial haulers to travel with an unsecured or uncovered load. The county’s current solid waste ordinance prohibits such activity but doesn’t include an enforcement mechanism specific to commercial haulers.
A Class 2 misdemeanor is punishable by up to six months in jail and/or up to a $1,000 fine, per state code.
The proposed amendments also define “commercial hauler” and update the definition of “residential waste” to comply with state code. “Commercial hauler” would be defined as “a person engaged in the business of collecting, transporting, hauling, transferring or disposing of refuse.”
In a memo, Deputy County Administrator Chris Coon said the recommended revisions “emphasize public health and safety, while promoting accountability, particularly among commercial waste haulers whose practices significantly impact roadway cleanliness.”
Board to consider honorary road naming for Col. Samuel Nelson Drew
The board of supervisors is poised to name a stretch of Louisa County roadway in honor of an Air Force veteran and former US diplomat who died while working to bring peace to a war-torn slice of Europe.
At the request of a group of his high school classmates, the board will consider bestowing an honorary road naming on Col. Samuel Nelson Drew. A 1966 Louisa County High School grad, Drew served a distinguished career in the Air Force and as a diplomat with the State Department. He played a key role in crafting the Dayton Accords, an agreement that brought peace to the Balkans. In 1995, Drew died in an accident while traveling in the region and was posthumously awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal by then-president Bill Clinton.
In an application requesting the honorary road naming, Drew’s classmates said that he’s worthy of the county’s recognition because of his positive impact on his community and country. They echoed former National Security Advisor Anthony Lake in describing Drew as a “remarkable military officer, a fine teacher and a real strategic thinker.”
“At every stage of Nelson’s life, he displayed outstanding leadership, honor and character. He was a man who loved his country,” the application says.
Assuming the board okays the honorary road naming, the request will go to the Virginia Department of Transportation for final approval. The county will work with stakeholders to finalize a road naming and erect signage along the roadway with Drew’s classmates covering the cost. The county will also host a dedication ceremony.
The honorary road naming would be the first approved under a policy adopted by the board last year. The policy lays out guidelines and criteria for naming a slice of road in a citizen’s honor, reserving the symbolic measure for individuals with strong connections to Louisa County who either earned national or international acclaim or made “ultimate sacrifices in service to the community or country.” It limits the approval of honorary road namings to one per year.
Under the policy, residents, organizations and county officials can present naming requests to the board for consideration via a formal application process. The board reviews each application to ensure the nominee meets eligibility requirements then votes on whether to name a road in their honor.
County officials have said that since honorary road namings are symbolic, they won’t impact the county’s 911 system.
Maintenance of dam expected to be handed over to AWS
A flood control dam currently owned and maintained by the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District (TJSWCD) could soon be under county control with the responsibility of maintaining it farmed out to one of the world’s largest technology companies.
The board of supervisors on Monday night is expected to greenlight a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the county and Amazon Web Services (AWS) tasking the tech giant with ensuring the proper function, structural integrity, and ongoing regulatory compliance of South Anna Dam #23, though Louisa County doesn’t yet own the dam.
The dam is situated on a 1445-acre tract off Jefferson Highway (Route 33) and Mt. Airy Road (Route 644) in central Louisa that AWS acquired in late 2023 for data center development. It’s one of 10 dams that the federal government built in the county for flood control, eight of which are owned and maintained by TJSWCD.
AWS plans to develop the North Creek Technology Campus on the tract over the next 15 years. At full buildout, the campus is expected to cover about 830 acres and could include more than two dozen data centers, according to county and company officials. The dam sits near the northern end of the property.
A proposed resolution greenlighting the MOU says the dam “is not currently in compliance with regulatory requirements” and, as a condition of Amazon's intended development of its property, the dam “must in be in compliance.”
The resolution states that TJSWCD intends to transfer ownership of the dam to the county and that an operations and maintenance agreement between the company and county is a condition of the transfer. The resolution notes that the transfer is subject to final approval by the National Resources Conservation Service.
Steve Lucas, who chairs TJSWCD’s board of directors and is one of two representatives from Louisa County on the body, said in an email on Saturday that the organization and the county have begun preliminary discussions about transferring ownership of the dam, but nothing has been finalized.
Regardless of who owns the dam, Lucas and County Administrator Christian Goodwin both said that handing over compliance responsibilities to AWS makes sense.
“The dam must be maintained in accordance with relevant regulations. TJSWCD is currently responsible for the dam's maintenance, and [that] AWS is willing to assume responsibility is a benefit to our organization,” Lucas said.
“Maintaining dams can be demanding and expensive and the dam is located within Amazon property. The company's willingness to assume compliance responsibility also represents a benefit from a cost and effort standpoint,” Goodwin said in an email on Friday.
Lucas and Goodwin acknowledged that the dam had sustained some damage while AWS contractors were performing soil core sampling on the property. Both said the issue had been rectified.
“AWS contractors drilled bore holes into the spillway of the dam in order to conduct soil sample testing. Following the discovery of these activities, TJSWCD repaired the holes under the guidance of Department of Conservation and Recreation and was promptly reimbursed by AWS,” Lucas said.
Goodwin said that the incident is unrelated to efforts to transfer ownership of and responsibility for the dam.
Board to consider CUP, proffer amendments for equipment biz
Supervisors will hold a public hearing and consider whether to approve Amos Equipment Repair, LLC’s request for a conditional use permit (CUP) to operate an equipment sales and rental business on a 4.26-acre parcel (tax map parcel 93-161) on the south side of Jefferson Highway near its intersection with Spring Wood Road and Ellis Road in the Jackson Election District.
The property, owned by Land Lovers, LLC, is zoned general commercial (C-2). It was previously home to an HVAC shop and carpet store showroom.
Anne Miller, a planner with Balzer and Associates, told the planning commission at its February 13 meeting that Amos Equipment plans to use the property to sell and rent farm and garden equipment with incidental storage, maintenance and servicing of such equipment.
Miller noted that the business already serves Louisa County and that its owner, Earnest Amos, “is excited to open his own shop here and have lasting roots.”
Based on a conceptual plan, Amos plans to utilize an existing building and parking area at the front of the property and add a second building with associated parking near the property’s rear.
The property would be accessed by an existing commercial entrance off Route 33. A gravel access road would be added to serve the back of the property. Per the concept plan, the new building would be shielded from adjoining property by a buffer, comprised of both existing and supplemental vegetation.
Beyond the CUP, the applicant is also requesting that the board amend five proffers attached to the property’s 1989 rezoning from agricultural to general commercial.
Miller told the commission that the changes better align with the property’s proposed use and Louisa County’s current land development regulations. Among other provisions, the amendments require the use of dark-sky compliant lighting, mandate that any equipment maintenance or servicing be performed inside and limit the business’ operating hours to between 8 am and 6 pm, Monday through Saturday while barring operation on Sunday.
Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend approval of Amos Equipment’s requests.
Supes to consider granting CUP for construction yard
Supervisors will hold a public hearing and consider whether to approve JWC Enterprises/On Demand Concrete’s request for a conditional use permit (CUP) to operate a construction yard on a five-acre parcel on the north side of Louisa Road (Route 22) at its intersection with Spotswood Trail (Route 33) in the Louisa Election District (tax map parcel 24-17-A).
The property, owned by Ronald Reynolds, is zoned General Commercial (C-2) and already home to Haymaker Auto Repair.
On Demand Concrete operates as a mobile concrete company, using the subject parcel to store gravel, sand and cement—ingredients in concrete—as well as concrete trucks and related equipment. The company loads the material on trucks at the property but mixes concrete on-demand where it’s needed. No concrete production takes place on the subject parcel.
The planning commission recommended approval of the CUP with six conditions including a requirement that the applicant construct a 150-foot long and eight-foot-tall wooden privacy fence “to create a visual screening buffer for adjacent property owners at the intersection of Poindexter Road (RT 613) & Louisa Road (RT 22).”
That condition was crafted after a representative from the Trevilian Station Battlefield Foundation expressed concern about the facility’s impact on the view shed around its 400 adjacent acres where, in 1864, Union and Confederate soldiers fought the Battle of Trevilian Station, the largest all-cavalry battle in the Civil War.
Supes to consider FEMS grant application
Supervisors will consider giving the Fire and EMS Department the go-ahead to apply for a Rescue Squad Assistance Fund Grant. The grant would total $48,000 and be used to purchase medication pumps and video laryngoscopes. The total cost of the equipment would be $96,000 with the grant requiring a 50/50 local match.
Mineral TC appoints Von Arb to vacant seat
The Mineral Town Council has a new member.
Council voted at its March 10 meeting to appoint JoAnna Von Arb to temporarily fill the seat vacated by Ron Chapman. Chapman resigned last month after his colleagues selected him as interim mayor. (video)
Von Arb will serve until a special election to fill the remainder of Chapman’s term, which runs through 2026. Pending circuit court approval, the election will take place on November 4, the same day as this year’s general election.
In a brief interview just prior to her swearing-in on Friday, Von Arb said she’s eager to join council and she hopes to bring a fresh perspective to the body.
“I just feel like [council] needs a fresh face...I just feel like we need more openness and better communication and better listening,” Von Arb said, adding that she would prioritize “building unity” and ensuring that town residents know that council members are “working for the town and not for [them]selves.”
In a letter of interest submitted to council prior to her appointment, Von Arb sounded a similar note, emphasizing her commitment to being a voice for residents and ensuring transparency in town government.
“Over the past few years, too many decisions have been made without true transparency, leaving many in our community feeling unheard and frustrated. That must change. I want to be instrumental in rebuilding that trust and ensuring that the town council listens, engages, and works in the best interest of the people it serves,” she wrote.
A realtor and Army veteran, Von Arb said in her letter that her professional background has prepared her to serve on council, fostering an understanding of what both town residents and business owners need. She said she plans to center those needs, including focusing on “responsible growth and planning” and improving the town’s infrastructure.
“As a Realtor, I understand the importance of fostering strong communities. I work with families making one of the most significant financial and personal decisions of their lives—buying or selling their homes. Through this, I have learned how vital it is for local governments to be supportive of homeowners and businesses, ensuring they have the infrastructure, resources, and representation they need to succeed,” she wrote.
In her interview on Friday, Von Arb also alluded to the infighting and dysfunction that has plagued council, contributing to resignations by council members and town staff, and hours-long meetings punctuated by arguments and personal attacks. She said she’s determined to work with her colleagues to facilitate better communication and put the needs of Mineral first.
“I think being understanding and listening and being objective and then getting to know the people, so you know [their] trigger points [is important],” she said, adding, “You want to be able to communicate without everybody being defensive.”
Council chose Von Arb over one other applicant, Afton Von Tye. Von Tye, who has lived in Mineral for the last 15 years and works as an estimator for Advanced Concrete Foundations, told council on Monday that he decided to vie for the seat because he wants to give back to the town.
Von Tye pointed to his work in commercial construction as his chief qualification for the job, noting his experience in budgeting, management and reading contracts.
Council ultimately voted 3-1 in support of Von Arb with council members Olivia McCarthy, Becky McGehee and Michelle Covert voting in support and council member David Hempstead opposing. Council member Bernice Kube was absent.
Before casting her vote, McCarthy said she chose to support Von Arb because of the commitment she’d shown to the town, including regularly showing up for meetings and engaging with council members.
Hempstead, the lone no vote, said that he’d prefer Von Tye, in part, because he’d like to see another male on council.
Several council members thanked Von Tye for his interest in serving the town and encouraged him to pursue other opportunities for public service including a vacancy on the town’s planning commission.
Prior to her selection on Monday, Von Arb had vied for a seat on council three other times.
Last September, she sought the seat briefly vacated by McCarthy. But council opted to re-appoint McCarthy after she resigned from council then said she regretted it a few days later.
In November, Von Arb ran as a write-in candidate for one of two council seats up for grabs in a special election. She was bested by McGehee and Hempstead, whose names were on the ballot.
In December, Von Arb threw her hat in the ring to replace Hempstead after council voted to expel him via a closed-door trial. The panel ultimately rescinded that move in January after Louisa County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rusty McGuire weighed in, saying council didn’t follow state code in its effort to oust a member.
Along with the contest for Von Arb’s seat, the Town of Mineral will hold two other special elections this November—one for the seat occupied by McCarthy and the other for mayor.
