As the Falls Church City Council closes in on adopting its Fiscal Year 2022 operating budget of about $106 million in less than two weeks, it appears almost certain that property owners will enjoy a cut in their tax rate, below the current level of $1.355 per $100 of assessed valuation.
The only question is by how much, and options currently discussed are ranging from City Manager Wyatt Shields’ recommendation of a single penny reduction, to a drop to $1.33 by Council member Letty Hardi and $1.31 by Council member Ross Litkenhous. Council member Phil Duncan said at Monday’s virtual City Council meeting that he’d prefer Litkenhous’ number, but it all depends on information that is not currently available.
