Richmond Citizens are invited and encouraged to attend all Council meetings and budget work sessions (mid-March through late May, listed below) and are encouraged to contact the Richmond Councilmember representing their voting district (by phone, in person, via email, at a meeting or by letter) to learn more, provide input, and/or ask questions.
BUDGET PROCESS AND FULL MEETING SCHEDULE __________________________________
2010 Richmond City Council
RICHMOND OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT BUDGET/TAX RATE PROCESS
For FY 2011 Richmond Government Budget and 2010 Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate
_______________________________________________________________________________________
As Richmond Citizens, we pool our resources to own and operate our government and decide what public services we want to invest in; the priority (investment levels) for these services; and, how we pay for them. Examples of our services include the management, oversight and delivery of such things as clean/safe water; streets/parks; firefighting/rescue; trash/sewage removal; laws, police/courts; public transportation; and, public education. Together, we own, operate, use and benefit from these services every day.
Richmond Government operates on a two-year (biennial) fiscal plan (budget) and is currently working under the second year of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010/2011 Richmond Official Government Budget. The Budget is typically amended in the second year, before the beginning of the upcoming fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30 annually. Council sets a Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate by April 15 each year.
As part of this process the Mayor submits a proposed budget draft to Council. Council reviews this draft and prepares the Richmond Official Government Budget.
Council’s budget process is managed by the Richmond City Council Finance Standing Committee (RCCFSC) . Members of the 2010 RCCFSC include: Chairman Ellen F. Robertson, Councilwoman, Gateway 6th District; Vice Chairman Charles R. Samuels, North Central 2nd District, and Councilman Bruce W. Tyler, West End 1st District.
Council's budget review and deliberations span three months, mid-March through May, during two dozen public meetings/special work sessions, which includes adopting a Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate and the Richmond Official Government Budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY).
The Richmond City Government Budget includes the City General Fund, Capital Improvement Plan, Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Richmond Public Schools. The City’s two-year fiscal plan (Budget) is amended every year.
Richmond citizens are encouraged to attend all Council meetings and budget work sessions and invited to contact their Councilmember and publicly address Council during scheduled Public Hearings.
The final budget takes the form of Council Ordinances, which, when approved by Council become law. These Ordinances will be available from the Richmond City Council website, at www.council.richmondva.gov. Copies will also be available for review in the Richmond City Council Office of the City Clerk, Richmond City Hall, 900 E. Broad Street, Suite 200.

BACKGROUND ON RICHMOND REAL ESTATE TAX ASSESSMENTS ________________________
We as citizens have determined that a fair way to help pay for our local citizen government is for Richmond real estate owners to annually contribute funds based on a percentage of the value of the real estate they own in the city. Therefore, each year the fair market value of real estate in the city is assessed and an annual Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate is set. The rate is the percentage, based on $100 of value, that each real estate owner will contribute to help pay for government services in the city. The current Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate is $1.20 per $100 of assessed real estate property value.
Our real estate tax is the largest single funding source we use to pay for our public services. There are approximately 73,000 real estate properties in Richmond and, to help ensure fairness, Virginia State Law requires that Richmond perform annual real estate assessments to determine fair market value.
Real estate owners contribute their share annually, based on the value of their real estate and the tax rate by June 15. For example, if a person owns $100,000 in real estate and the tax rate is $1.20 per $100 of assessed real estate property value; their share is $1,200 for that year.

BACKGROUND ____________________________________________________________________
A function of its core mission as the governing body of Richmond, Richmond City Council is responsible for establishing the annual Richmond Official Government Budget. Richmond Citizens are invited and encouraged to attend all Council meetings and budget work sessions (mid-March through late May, listed below) and are encouraged to contact the Richmond Councilmember representing their voting district (by phone, in person, via email, at a meeting or by letter) to learn more, provide input, and/or ask questions.
BUDGET PROCESS AND FULL MEETING SCHEDULE __________________________________
2010 Richmond City Council
RICHMOND OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT BUDGET/TAX RATE PROCESS
For FY 2011 Richmond Government Budget and 2010 Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate
_______________________________________________________________________________________
As Richmond Citizens, we pool our resources to own and operate our government and decide what public services we want to invest in; the priority (investment levels) for these services; and, how we pay for them. Examples of our services include the management, oversight and delivery of such things as clean/safe water; streets/parks; firefighting/rescue; trash/sewage removal; laws, police/courts; public transportation; and, public education. Together, we own, operate, use and benefit from these services every day.
Richmond Government operates on a two-year (biennial) fiscal plan (budget) and is currently working under the second year of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010/2011 Richmond Official Government Budget. The Budget is typically amended in the second year, before the beginning of the upcoming fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30 annually. Council sets a Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate by April 15 each year.
As part of this process the Mayor submits a proposed budget draft to Council. Council reviews this draft and prepares the Richmond Official Government Budget.
Council’s budget process is managed by the Richmond City Council Finance Standing Committee (RCCFSC) . Members of the 2010 RCCFSC include: Chairman Ellen F. Robertson, Councilwoman, Gateway 6th District; Vice Chairman Charles R. Samuels, North Central 2nd District, and Councilman Bruce W. Tyler, West End 1st District.
Council's budget review and deliberations span three months, mid-March through May, during two dozen public meetings/special work sessions, which includes adopting a Richmond Real Estate Tax Rate and the Richmond Official Government Budget for the upcoming Fiscal Year (FY).
The Richmond City Government Budget includes the City General Fund, Capital Improvement Plan, Special Funds, Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, Richmond Public Schools. The City’s two-year fiscal plan (Budget) is amended every year.
Richmond citizens are encouraged to attend all Council meetings and budget work sessions and invited to contact their Councilmember and publicly address Council during scheduled Public Hearings.
The final budget takes the form of Council Ordinances, which, when approved by Council become law. These Ordinances will be available from the Richmond City Council website, at www.council.richmondva.gov. Copies will also be available for review in the Richmond City Council Office of the City Clerk, Richmond City Hall, 900 E. Broad Street, Suite 200.
