Unless you live in a $10M+ house your taxes WOULD NOT have increased $550!

EVERY property would be subject to the 0-1mil ad-valorem tax, including properties owned by the "Builder."

There is no union contract negotiated between the VPSD and the County. The County has nothing to do with the VPSD except hold the purse strings (which may turn out to be bad enough).
