HENRY COUNTY, VA – The Henry County Board of Supervisors voted to extend the payment deadline for personal property taxes until February 5, 2024.
According to the county code, all personal property taxes are due by December 5 of each year.
Linda Love, Henry County Commissioner of Revenue, said that her office required an extension to the deadline due to staffing shortages, which resulted in a delay on the printing of the bills.
County staff does not anticipate that the delay will have a significant impact on the budget outside of the loss of some income gained from the interest on the revenue, according to a news release from the county.
In other matters, the supervisors:
Approved changes to revenue-sharing agreements with the City of Martinsville and Henry County Industrial Development Authority related to Commonwealth Crossing Business Centre and the Patriot Centre Expansion. The changes separate the properties into two agreements and provide for future funding of the Martinsville-Henry County Economic Development Corporation
