Presented By: City Attorney Chris Brown
Recommendation and Review
Virginia Code Section 58.1-3814 permits localities to impose a tax on the consumers of the utility service or services provided by utilities such as electric, natural gas and water. The proposed ordinance amendments would amend Section 4-2-62 to increase the utility tax levied on electricity and natural gas and Section 7-4-1 to increase the utility tax levied on water.
