Scottsville is a town along the James River located partly within Albemarle County and partly within Fluvanna County, having a population of 555 recorded in the 2000 Census.
History
Originally known as Scott's Landing, Scottsville was founded as a river town with a ferry and to serve as a port on the James River for the batteaux that traveled up and down. The town was officially incorporated in 1818 at the northern-most point of the river[1].
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.
- Clark W. Draper III, Scottsville Town Administrator
- Amy E. Moyer, Town Clerk
- Barry Grove III, Mayor
- Daniel Gritsko, Town Councilor
- Brandon Maupin, Town Councilor
- Lisa Roberson, Town Councilor
- Ron Smith, Town Councilor
- John Snoddy, Town Councilor
- Craig Stratton, Town Councilor
- James M. Bowling IV, Town Attorney
Budget & Finance
- FY2009 budget for the Town of Scottsville is $426,080.[2]
- Scottsville has not had a real estate property tax rate separate from that levied by the County of Albemarle since 1992.[2]
- “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.
