Fairfax Board Votes to Lower Tax Rate by a 1.5 Cents

 Yesterday, the Fairfax Board of Supervisors voted 9-1 to lower the real estate tax rate by a modest 1.5 cents below the current level of $1.11 per $100 of assessed real estate value, even though hikes in assessed values will mean that the average taxpayer in the county will see her rate jump by $490 next year.

The board also voted to fully fund salary market rate adjustments for county employees out of unallocated funds totaling nearly $100 million.
