County backs Wythe cigarette tax change in Virginia
Warren County supervisors approved a resolution on January 5 supporting Wythe County's push to let all counties levy cigarette taxes. Current law limits such taxes to cities and towns, with a few counties like Fairfax and Arlington authorized to tax cigarettes, up to five cents per pack or equal to state tax. The proposal, tied to funding needs for the U.S. 522 corridor, faces mixed legislative support and debate over property tax relief and targeted uses.
