Recouping money
In 2010, the Board of Supervisors approved the reopening of a vacant business auditor position in order to help determine whether Albemarle County was receiving its share of commercial taxes. As of August 9, 2010, the auditor discovered $383,944 that had not been returned to Albemarle by the state Department of Taxation[7]. The idea had been recommended by a resource utilization study performed on Albemarle County general government by the Commonwealth Educational Policy Institute[citation needed].
