Harrisonburg adopts solar tax exemption
On Tuesday, March 8, Harrisonburg City Council voted to adopt an ordinance to provide for a 20 year, 100% tax exemption for all solar equipment.
Secure Futures and Eastern Mennonite University had consulted closely with Senator Mark Obenshain, members of Harrisonburg City Council, and city staff on how to pass a solar equipment tax exemption ordinance since last fall, as provided for in state enabling legislation.
City Council’s forward-thinking move formally put the City on record for supporting solar for all residents and businesses in Harrisonburg.
The formal adoption of the ordinance takes place at City Council’s March 22nd public meeting.
