FAIRFAX COUNTY NOTICE

July 14, 2026

Public hearings before the Board of Supervisors of Fairfax County, Virginia, to be held in the Board Auditorium of the Fairfax County Government Center, 12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 22035, at which time the Board will consider the following:

TIME SUBJECT

4:00 p.m. Public hearing to consider adopting an uncodified ordinance to allow for adjustments of accounts and payments that involve cash transactions due to the decrease in pennies following the United States Mint’s cessation of the production of the penny. The US Mint ceased production of new circulating pennies on November 12, 2025. While still legal tender and widely circulated, the lack of new production has led to shortages that are impacting the ability for businesses and governments to obtain pennies for purposes of cash transactions. The General Assembly recently adopted Chapter 713 of the 2026 Acts of Assembly, which allows localities to enact a temporary ordinance to set forth procedures to adjust bills and account balances for taxes and other charges due. The ordinance must expire no later than July 1, 2027. Adopting the proposed ordinance allows department Directors to implement policies and procedures in accordance with the ordinance that will address the current issue. Copies of the full text of the proposed ordinance, as well as other documents relating to the aforementioned subject, are on file and available for review at the Office of the Clerk for the Board of Supervisors. To make arrangements to view the documents, please contact the Office of the Clerk for the Board of Supervisors at 703-324-3151.
