Create separate auto dealership business tax class with lower rates
In Plain English
Auto dealers on the Hilltop sued the city in 2022, claiming Richmond's business tax discriminated against them. The city settled the lawsuit in July 2024 by agreeing to create a separate tax category for auto dealerships. If approved, the new rates reduce city revenue by approximately $500,000 per year.
