On Tuesday, the Prince William Board of County Supervisors voted to hike tax bills for county residents, enact new taxes and fees, and boost funding to its public schools.

Homeowners, on average, will pay $172 more in Real Estate taxes on their homes starting July 1. The average homeowner will pay a $4,389 property tax bill to fund the local government's $3.8 billion budget, 12% larger than last year.

The county will give nearly $2 billion to its government public school division, which increases the county schools budget by $187 million over last year, a historic increase. The new spending plan includes a record increase of $124 million, including a further 4% restaurant tax on food and drinks tacked onto the sales tax. All of it comes as the county operates with an existing $35 million budget surplus.
