Taxes and Government Spending

Dave believes Virginia’s taxes are too high and is 100% opposed to tax increases. Costs for everything rise because of inflation. Dave LaRock is working to keep Virginia a conservative, low tax state by keeping spending at or below current levels and opposing expansion of welfare giveaway programs that threaten that status. Dave has also worked in the legislature to protect property rights, and to prevent continually increasing local residential real state taxes, by ensuring that businesses pay their fair share. 

Here's some of Dave's legislation to protect residents from higher property taxes:

• 2023 Session: HB 1710 Real property; tax classification of commercial and industrial property in certain localities.
• 2022 Session: HB 1114 Real property; tax classification of commercial and industrial property in certain localities.
• 2020 Session: HB 768 Commercial and industrial property; classification of real property in certain localities.
