CHATHAM, Va. â The Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors Finance Committee yesterday afternoon approved advertisement of the county budget for the fiscal year 2021-22. The board also heard updates on solar farm taxation options and 2022 property reassessment.
County Administrator David Smitherman presented a budget of over $211 million for FY 2021-22, of which $71.5 million comprises the general fund. The remainder is state and federal funds, amalgamating to an annual county budget totaling $26 million more than last year.
The budget proposal isnât perfect, but, It s our attempt to get us through one more year, Smitherman said.
Four years ago, the board engendered a four-year live within our means plan, Smitherman said. The plan helped the county bounce back from a historic low point in 2018, when county administrators were worried if they d be able to pay their own employees. Debt has diminished ever since.
