Real Estate Assessor to Hold Meeting on Land Use Assessment Program
Prince George , VA -
The County Real Estate Assessor will be hosting a meeting on Wednesday , March 6 , 2024 , at 6:00 PM in the County Boardroom , located on the third floor of the County Administration Building at 6602 Courts Drive . The purpose of the meeting is to provide residents with an overview of the Land Use Assessment Program . Time will be allotted after the presentation for questions , and the Real Estate Assessor encourages current and prospective land use participants to attend .
The Land Use Assessment Program , provided for in the Code of Virginia §58 . 1 - 3230 - 43 , allows localities to offer special assessments for agricultural , horticultural , and forest lands , as well as open space . Properties that qualify for this program are assessed based on the value of the land for their production rather than a higher fair market value . The program aims to support farming , forestry , and the preservation of open spaces .
Currently , 9% of parcels in Prince George County , totaling 1 , 285 properties , are part of the Land Use Program . Citizens are encouraged to attend the information session to learn about the various criteria , qualifying conditions , and restrictions that exist for acceptance and annual continuation in the program .
If you are unable to attend the Land Use Assessment Program meeting on March 6 , the Real Estate Assessor gave a similar presentation to the Board of Supervisors on February 13 , 2024 . The presentation begins at the 56:19 mark of the meeting . Residents can view it at:
