From a press release:
STAFFORD — Stafford County officials are closely watching a land auction at Quantico Corporate Center.
Four commercial properties zoned for office space were supposed to have been auctioned to the highest bidder on April 20, but a title issue with one the properties forced the auction’s postponement.
Last year, Manassas City officials passed a budget that increased the average real estate tax bill by an average of $198. It was called an “investing year” as the budget included multiple capital improvement projects that included the construction of a new police public safety center, a new fire station, and funding for a project that would remake Grant Avenue — once a main entrance to the city prior to the construction of Prince William Parkway in the 1990s.
This year’s budget process is about “maintaining” the funding the city council committed to funding last year. And, that means city residents are on the hook to pay about $60 more per year on their real estate tax on average.
