The solid waste fee is an annual bill of $120 that supports the operations of the county-run landfill in Dry Fork and the many convenience centers spread throughout Pittsylvania County. The Personal Property Tax rate is $9.00 per every $100 of assessed value, while the Pittsylvania County Real Estate Tax Rate is $0.62 per every $100.00 in assessed value.

All of these bills are split into multiple payments, which come due in December and June.

The Treasurer’s Office is not responsible for setting any of these tax rates or assessing any property; the Commissioner of the Revenue is responsible for the Assessment process and valuations, while the the Board of Supervisors is responsible for setting the different tax rates.
