The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday, January 7, to try again this year to get the Virginia General Assembly to approve a resolution allowing the county to collect a 5% transient occupancy tax.
Supervisors approved a 2% lodging tax last year that, by law, Middlesex was allowed to approve by a majority vote of the board of supervisors. A resolution, however, has to be approved by the General Assembly for the county to receive an increase up to 5%.
