We are pay taxes higher than most of Northern VA without getting any of the infrastructure or amenities that they have. Stop making it cost more to do business because all you do it make it more expensive for residents and drive money out of the county

It is unbelievable that Stafford County should overtax its residents without responsible fiscal accountability. Why does this county carry the burden to paid the relief taxes for the highest Disabled Veteran population in the State? I fully support the DV Community, but this should be a shared-State responsibility, not just a County’s burden. Add the increasing Real Estate taxes on arbitrary home values is unconscionable. BOS - fund and manage the essential Services. Quit unnecessary spending.

Enough with the taxing of Stafford residents and businesses. Due to poor decisions and leadership from the BOS it’s becoming harder and harder for to even want to stay in Stafford or conduct business.

Stafford County is supposedly a business friendly county. Why is the Stafford Board of Supervisors not focus on getting more businesses to come? But instead proposing a BPOL on businesses. No BPOL would send a clear signal that Stafford County is serious about being business-friendly — and that signal matters. It's the kind of policy that shows up in site-selection decisions and helps us attract and keep employers and jobs right here in our county.

I teach at a small art center in Stafford, Corgi and Clay Art Center. After moving here from Atlanta this has been a second home for me, i've made great connections with students and other staff and have been building community like many others who take classes or work here. I know that this tax would heavily affect the ability for this space and community spaces like this to continue to exist as they operate on very thin margins as it is. Stafford should be supporting small business
