If you live in the Lake Shenandoah Drainage Area you are currently paying an additional tax alongside your real estate tax... with the new tax going to the Lake Shenandoah Stormwater Authority. 

The tax per property is based on $0.08 per year per square foot of rooftop area and went into effect in December 2020.

Also in 2020, Rockingham County purchased a 28.878 acre property within the Lake Shenandoah Drainage Area for use as a stormwater storage area.

Now, more details have emerged via an invitation to bid that closes today.  Per the government documents, work is to be completed by December 1, 2022.

This new stormwater facility will be located on land that is currently undeveloped between Barrington, Kentshire Estates, Lakewood, Taylor Spring and Taylor Grove subdivisions in the area outlined in pink/purple above.
