The property tax rate in Prince William County remains flat, but the average tax bill is going up.
Prince William County Supervisors on Friday approved its fiscal 2017 operating budget. After months of wrangling over whether or not to raise the tax rate by 3.88 percent as outlined in a five-year plan approved last year, leaders kept a flat-tax rate of $1.122 per $100 of assessed property value.
The average tax bill for homeowners in the county will be $3,799, an increase of $77 per year. Conservatives argued keeping the tax rate flat will help struggling families in the county better make ends meet. Those who supported the higher tax rate said the county needs to make more investments in infrastructure and government services.
