Henry County adopts FY27 budget and keeps real estate tax rate at $0.50

The Henry County Board of Supervisors adopted its fiscal year 2026-27 budget during a May 5 work session, establishing the county’s spending framework for the year ahead.

County officials said the adopted plan also sets the real estate tax rate at $0.50 per $100 of assessed value, a key figure for households and property owners across the Martinsville-Henry corridor.

The decision gives local departments and partner agencies a defined operating baseline as summer planning cycles continue, including public-service and capital priorities tied to the new fiscal year.

For residents, the immediate impact is clarity on county-level tax and budget assumptions ahead of the broader FY27 implementation window.
