The Town of Culpeper is in a unique situation in that the majority of revenue for local government does not come from property taxes, as is true in many other jurisdictions. Rather, the Town of Culpeper sees the largest percentage of revenue coming from Meals, Sales, Business License, and Occupancy taxes. The Tourism department works closely with community organizations, entrepreneurs, and businesses to ensure a strong vibrant local economy.
Tourism is one of Virginia’s most powerful industries and provides instant revenue for the state, generating billions of dollars in tax revenue and supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs for Virginians. According to figures provided by the Virginia Tourism Corporation, every $1 invested in tourism marketing generates $5 in tax revenue for the Commonwealth.
