Summary

Busch Gardens Williamsburg is locked in a tense tax standoff with James City County, facing a $22 million back-tax bill — a twist that follows a 2021 state ruling siding with the park. The county claims the park owes more under a new tax calculation, while the park argues the state’s decision should trigger refunds dating back to 2017. Interest is mounting, and though the park remains silent, county officials say talks are ongoing — hoping to find a fair middle ground amid conflicting interpretations of tax law.
