WISE COUNTY, VIRGINIA
NOTICE OF PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX
INCREASE
AND PUBLIC HEARING
Wise County, Virginia proposes to increase property tax levies.
I. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property, excluding additional
assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year's
total assessed value of real property by 25 percent.
2. Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would
levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total
assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.55 per
$100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the "lowered tax rate."
3. Effective Rate Increase: Wise County, Virginia proposes adopting a tax rate of $0.69 per
$100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed
rate would be $0.14 per $100, or 25 percent. This difference will be known as the
"effective tax rate increase."
Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater than or less than
the above percentage.
4. Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real property tax rate and
changes in other revenues, the total budget of Wise County will exceed last year's by 0
percent.
Apublic hearing on the increase will be held on February 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. in the
Auditorium located at Central High School, 5000 Warrior Drive, Norton, VA 24273.

The Honorable Terry G. Kilgore
Virginia General Assembly
201 North 9th Street, Rm. 1401

Re: Bristol Transportation District Regional Improvement Commission
Casino Revenue Distribution
Dear Senator Pillion and Delegate Kilgore:
On behalf of Wise County and its Board of Supervisors, we write to express our firm and
unequivocal opposition to any legislative or administrative efforts to alter the current statutory
distribution of casino-generated revenues within the Bristol Transportation District.
The existing framework which was established by the General Assembly and relied upon by
participating localities was intentionally designed to ensure equitable, predictable, and regional
sharing of these funds. Wise County, like other rural localities in Southwest Virginia, has
incorporated these revenues into long-term planning to sustain essential public services. Any
change to this distribution would result in immediate and lasting harm to counties that already
face disproportionate fiscal challenges.
Casino revenues have become a critical funding source for education and public safety in Wise
County. These funds support our public schools, help retain qualified teachers and staff, and
provide stability amid rising operational costs. Likewise, they are essential to maintaining fire
protection, emergency medical services, and law enforcement—services that are not optional, but
23
fundamental responsibilities of local government. Rural localities operate these services across
vast geographic areas with limited tax bases, increasing costs, and persistent workforce
shortages. The loss or reduction of this revenue would directly jeopardize our ability to meet
these obligations.
We are particularly concerned that proposals to modify the distribution formula would shift
resources away from rural counties to address fiscal decisions made elsewhere. While all
localities face inflationary pressures and increased service demands. Wise County and similarly
situated jurisdictions do not have the capacity to offset lost revenues through higher real estate or
consumer tax rates without imposing an undue burden on our residents. The current distribution
model recognizes this reality and reflects a deliberate policy choice by the General Assembly to
promote regional equity.
It bears emphasizing that the success of the casino project was premised on regional participation
and shared benefit. Revising the distribution after the fact undermines that foundation, erodes
trust among local governments, and sets a troubling precedent for future regional initiatives.
Stability and predictability in state policy are essential for responsible local governance.
For these reasons, the Wise County Board of Supervisors respectfully but strongly urges you to
oppose any legislation or action that would alter the current distribution of casino revenues
within the Bristol Transportation District. Protecting the existing framework is necessary to
preserve public safety, support education, and uphold the intent of the General Assembly in
fostering balanced regional development.
We appreciate your continued service to the citizens of Southwest Virginia and trust that you
will give full consideration to the serious consequences such changes would impose on Wise
County and other rural localities.
Sincerely,
Karen T. Mullins
Interim County Administrator
