The land use ordinance for Fluvanna County was adopted effective January 1, 1978 declaring the preservation of real estate devoted to agricultural, horticultural, forest and open space uses within the County be taxed by the use assessment in accordance with the provisions outlined in article 4 of chapter 32 of title 58.1 of the Code of Virginia.

At this time Fluvanna County does not require a business license to operate in the County, but the business is required to register with the Commissioner of the Revenue's Office in order to assess tangible business personal property tax annually. The state of Virginia requires businesses to be registered with the Virginia Department of Taxation.
