Rappahannock County’s local real-estate taxes are due Dec. 5.
“Next week will be busy, busy, busy” County Treasurer Frances Foster said Tuesday.
Foster and her fellow employees in the treasurer’s office will also likely hear some comments from unhappy taxpayers. Her office simply collects tax payments. They don’t set the tax rate or assess real-estate values. But they still hear complaints from taxweary citizens.
