According To Washington County Virginia Treasurer, Fred Parker, The County Cannot Keep Up With Ongoing And New Government Expenses Without Additional Revenue Streams. Despite This, Sales Revenue Is Very Strong. County Administrator Jason Berry Adds The Upcoming Fiscal Year Budget Is Balanced, However, If The Sales Tax Revenues Flatten Or Decline, It Could Present Significant Budgetary Challenges. A Proposal Is Being Considered On Increasing The Lodging Tax By 2-Percent, Binging It To 7-Percent. No Action Has Been Taken On The Proposal.
