This Just In: VA Supreme Court To Northern Virginia: No New Taxes!!

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 02:10:12 +0000

The NVTA was created by the Virginia General Assembly earlier this year, to levy taxes for Northern Virginia transportation projects. I wrote about these increases in more detail back on July.

In an unanimous opinion, the court said that legislators improperly delegated taxing powers to the unelected members of the NVTA.

This decisions affects the recent increase in the grantors/transfer tax homeowners pay when they sell their homes, in addition to some other taxes that were increased in in January to help pay for the $300 million needed in bonds to finance planned transportation projects.
