Data Centers Driving Up Legal Costs in Prince William: Taxpayers on Hook to Fight Lawsuits

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors approved a resolution on November 19, 2024, to transfer $484,007 from the county’s contingency fund to address litigation costs and hire additional staff to handle data center real estate assessments. The resolution passed with a 6-2 vote, with Gainesville District Supervisor Bob Weir and Coles District Supervisor Yesli Vega opposing the measure.

The funding will allocate $300,000 for outside legal counsel to manage lawsuits involving data center tax assessments and $184,007 to create two new full-time positions in the Finance Department’s Real Estate Assessments Division. The new positions will focus on the valuation and legal defense of assessments for data centers, which have rapidly become the county’s largest source of commercial tax revenue.
