Scottsville, Virginia

Scottsville is along the James River located within Albemarle County with a population of 555 recorded in the 2000 Census. Portions of Scottsville are shared by Buckingham, Fluvanna and Albemarle counties.

History

Government

The former Albemarle County Seat, Scottsville was established in 1818 and incorporated in 1833. The town operates under a mayor-council form of government with its own Town Administrator and Clerk. The six-member Town Council and the mayor are elected from at-large districts for a term of two years. Elections occur on the first Tuesday of May in even-numbered years.

Budget & Finance

  • FY2009 budget for the Town of Scottsville is $426,080.[1]
  • Scottsville has not had a real estate property tax rate separate from that levied by the County of Albemarle since 1992.[1]
“We’re pretty dependent on our meals tax because we’re one of the only towns that doesn’t have its own property tax levy,” [Town Administrator Clark] Draper said. In a copy of the proposed budget, the meals tax accounts for the largest portion of the town’s revenue, a little more than 22 percent.
Scottsville hasn’t had real-estate taxes since 1992, when it expanded and annexed part of Albemarle County. The deal with the county was that if Scottsville annexed county land, the town couldn’t have real-estate taxes for five years, Draper said. Since then, the town has been able to maintain its budget without real-estate taxes, he said.
