BEDFORDÂ â Bedford County residentsâ tax rates are set to remain the same for the upcoming budget.
The Bedford County Board of Supervisors heard county staffâs proposed fiscal year 2022 budget at a work session Monday night. None of Bedford County s tax rates, including its real estate tax rate, are scheduled to change.
The only change related to taxes is the classification of rental boats as personal property, a decision made in a resolution passed by supervisors last year; it means personal property tax must now be paid on such vessels.
âForest harvesting equipmentâ is proposed to be removed from the personal property classification in the county ordinance. A public hearing at the board of supervisors April 26 meeting has been set to formally adopt the changes into the county ordinance.
