Vienna Notice of Intent to Adopt Proposed Budget for FY2022-23

FCTA Note:
The following notice was published on page B6 of the Washington Times on 05/05/2022 and 05/12/2022. But unlike the Fairfax County notice, which states outright that it "proposes to increase property tax levies", Vienna's notice makes no such mention.

Like Fairfax County, Vienna is taking advantage of an approximate 10% real estate assessment increase by reducing from last year's tax rate by a mere 3%, thereby effectively increasing your real estate taxes by 7 to 9% -- just like the County.
