Tazewell County Virginia projects about 720000 in new revenue for the 2001 2002 budget year from a consumer utility tax implemented July 1 2000. A January 1 2001 state mandated change shifts commercial charges to two cents per kilowatt hour while residential fees stay at 3 dollars monthly. County Attorney Dennis Simmons notes tariff rules reflect AEP classifications under the State Corporation Commission. Terry Hall of AEP says classifications have not changed and the utility tax is being collected by AEP for local jurisdictions.
