Bryan Hill proposed a $4.85 billion spending plan that would freeze the county's homeowner tax rate at $1.14 per $100 of assessed value, while increasing spending on county services and employees.
In Fairfax, the county schools’ funding would increase by $117 million, for a total of $2.5 billion. Fairfax’s 12,000 employees would be granted a 4 percent cost-of-living raise — known as a “market-rate adjustment” — that would lift the minimum salary to $15.90 per hour.
With some residents still struggling, and with uncertainty surrounding a full economic recovery in the region, Hill set aside an $80 million surplus in his plan for the board to apply toward an array of remaining problems when it approves a final budget in May. A 6.6 percent increase in the values of apartment buildings in Fairfax since last year — coupled with ongoing inflation — probably means higher rents for those residents, too.Meanwhile, large employers in the region no longer feel compelled to have hundreds of their workers inside a corporate headquarters, a pandemic-inspired change that has left 20.3 million square feet of unused office space in the county.
