Recommendation and Review

The Constitution of Virginia allows for specific local tax exemption. Prior to January 1, 2003, the General Assembly passed bills exempting an organization from local taxation and as of January 1, 2003, local elected officials were given the authority to make the determination.  Harrisonburg City Code §4-2-17 addresses local real and personal property exemption. Strength in Peers, Inc., Virginia Clean Cities and Village to Village Inc and Hope4Villages LLC are requesting exemption under this code.
