Williamsburg residents will see a small decrease in real property tax next year under an ordinance proposal given to the Williamsburg City Council.
The second and final reading of the tax rate ordinance was read and unanimously approved at Wednesday’s special called meeting.

Last year, Personal Property Tax (including automobiles) was raised to 45.0 cents per $100 per valuation and will remain the same for 2022 at 45.0 cents.
