AFD SIGNUP OPEN IN BLACKSBURG

This month Blacksburg will accept new applications for inclusion in the town's Agricultural and Forestal District.

The district is designed to protect and enhance agricultural lands. Eligible properties include those that are being farmed or where forestry is the main use.

Property owners who have land-use value taxation from Montgomery County, and who successfully apply for the Agricultural and Forestal District in Blacksburg, will then qualify for the land-use value tax break from the town. For information, contact Duane Hyde at the Planning and Engineering Department at 961-1114, or via e-mail at dkhydexc2bev.net.
