1. Why am I getting double charged for Real Estate taxes?

As a result of reversion, Town residents now pay $0.32 per $100 value Real Estate taxes. In addition, Town residents pay $0.52 per $100 value Real Estate tax to the County of Bedford. Each locality bills separately for their respective rate thus residents get TWO bills – they are not getting double charged. When the Town was a City residents paid $0.86 per $100 value Real Estate taxes. Residents have received a net reduction in their tax rate of $0.02 per $100 value on their taxes for additional service delivery as residents now have access to Town and County services. The Town Real Estate tax bill must be paid at the Town of Bedford Municipal Building and the County of Bedford Real Estate tax bill must be paid at the County Administration Building.

2. What is the number for....?

• Bedford County: 540-586-7601
• Health Department: 540-586-7952

• Magistrate's Office: 540-586-7657
• County Parks & Rec: 540-586-7682
