Tax savings

Board of Supervisor Chairman Shaun Kenney emphasized the community was hurting and needed this $25-$50 monthly tax relief.  This statement is not true.  A resident needs to own property assessed at $3,157,895 (yes, over 3 million dollars) to get a $50/month tax relief.  The average Fluvanna resident will get less than $3/month in tax savings.  Mr. Kenney was either willfully deceiving the community or was ignorant of the actual tax impact.
Below are examples of tax savings in the five Board of Supervisor member’s roads/neighborhoods, which range from $2.19 to $6.16 a month.
1) Ullenbruch’s Broken Island Community (Palmyra)– 46 homes with median assessment of $401k –median tax savings:  $6.16/month
2) Chesser’s road (Rivanna)–  40 homes with median assessment of $232k –median tax savings:  $3.67/month
3) Kenney’s road (Columbia)– 131 homes with median assessment of $168k –median tax savings:  $2.66/month
4) Weaver’s road (Cunningham)– 137 homes with median assessment of $157k –median tax savings: $2.49/month
5) Booker’s road (Fork Union)– 200 homes with median assessment of $138k –median tax savings: $2.19/month
Those tax savings are not worth short changing and destroying the schools.  Insist that your supervisor keep your taxes the same next year in order to fund the schools properly!
