James City County will hold a special Board of Supervisors meeting on Friday, Feb. 27, to consider a budget amendment tied to a potential tax refund of up to $16 million, according to an official county notice.
The county’s Feb. 18 news release says Board Chair John McGlennon called the special meeting for 8:30 a.m. at the County Government Center Board Room, 101-F Mounts Bay Road. The stated purpose is to consider a resolution to amend the county budget by an amount that exceeds 1% of total expenditures in the currently adopted budget.
The release says the amendment would be used to pay a tax refund to a taxpayer for an amount not exceeding $16 million. The notice does not identify the taxpayer in the public summary.
How this fits into the county’s meeting schedule
James City County’s public meetings calendar lists the Feb. 27 special meeting from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. It comes three days after the regular Board of Supervisors business meeting listed for Tuesday, Feb. 24 at 1 p.m.
For residents, the key takeaway is procedural and financial: this is not a routine housekeeping item. The county has framed the action as a budget amendment above the 1% threshold and specifically linked it to a high-dollar refund payment.
What residents should watch
- Whether the board adopts the amendment resolution as presented.
- How county staff describes the fiscal impact on current-year budget planning.
- Whether follow-up documentation is provided that explains legal/administrative context for the refund.
As of publication, county public notices confirm the meeting time, location, and purpose language, but do not publicly name the taxpayer in the summary release.
