Prince William leaders project higher tax bills despite $10 million surplus, $34 million revenue increase

By Uriah Kiser

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors held its public hearing on a proposed tax increase, where the average homeowner could pay a $4,905 Real Estate tax bill, up $72 from last year, starting July 1.

County Executive Christopher Shorter dropped the proposed tax rate by one cent, to .966 cents on every $100 of assessed home value, from when he first proposed his 2024 budget on February 28. While the proposed rate is lower than the current $1.03 rate, increased property values mean homeowners will pay more.

This year’s performance is the third year the organization has staged a spring musical and the second year that the cast–more than 30– has worked to master the content of a licensed musical. As in years past, STEP VA is making necessary adaptations for the performers, each of whom has a disability, but only as those needs arise. 

“I wanted to give them as close to a Broadway experience as possible,” Sarah Garner, program coordinator, explained last year when the organization was preparing for Disney’s The Lion King, Kid.
