County executive Thomas Foley unveiled a proposed budget of $311,677,759 in late February 2012. The proposed budget was balanced on an equalized tax rate of 76.4¢, resulting in no tax increase for the average homeowner for the fourth year in a row. [1] The proposed budget included $1.5 million in unappropriated revenue, which Foley recommended should be allocated to the capital improvement program. The capital program for FY2013 is $21.5 million, and includes funds to begin construction of the new Crozet Library.

The Board of Supervisors voted 5-1 on April 4, 2012 to set the tax rate at 76.2 cents per $100 of assessed value. [2] Supervisor Ken Boyd voted against the increase. On April 11, the Board voted 4-2 to adopt the budget with Boyd and Rodney Thomas voting against. [3]
