The service charge shall not be applicable to public roadways or property held for future construction of such roadways. For purposes of calculating the service charge, the cost of public school education shall be included in such amount in determining the service charge imposed on faculty and staff housing of an educational institution. The expenditures shall exclude any amount received from federal or State grants specifically designated for furnishing police and fire protection and for collection and disposal of refuse and assistance provided to localities pursuant to Code of Virginia, Title 9.1, Ch. 1, Art. 8 (Code of Virginia, § 9.1-165 et seq.).

For purposes of this section, the valuation of exempt real estate shall not take into account artistic and historical significance. (b) Buildings with land occupied by faculty and staff housing of educational institutions. Buildings with land actually occupied by faculty and staff housing of educational institutions, together with the additional adjacent land reasonably necessary for the convenient use of any such building located within the City, shall be exempt from the service charge provided in this section if the buildings are: (1) Lawfully owned and held by churches or religious bodies and wholly and exclusively used for religious worship or for the residence of the minister of any church or religious body or for use as a religious convent, nunnery, monastery, cloister or abbey; or (2) Used or operated exclusively for nonprofit private educational or charitable purposes, other than faculty and staff housing of any such educational institution. (c) Calculation of service charge for faculty and staff housing of educational institutions. In the case of faculty and staff housing, the service charge shall be based on the assessed value of the tax exempt real estate and the amount which the City shall have expended in the year preceding the year of the assessment of such charge, for the purpose of furnishing police and fire protection, and for the collection and disposal of refuse. The service charge shall not exceed 50 percent of the real estate tax rate and shall be fixed by dividing the expenditures as calculated in this subsection by the assessed fair market value of all of the real estate within the City, except real estate owned by the United States government or any of its instrumentalities, expressed in hundreds of dollars, including nontaxable property as listed in the land book of the City by the City Assessor. The resulting rate shall then be applied to the assessed value of the tax exempt property. (d) Calculation of service charge for property owned by the Commonwealth. In the case of property owned by the Commonwealth, the service charge shall be based on the assessed value of the State-owned tax exempt real estate and the amount which the City shall have expended in the year preceding the year of the assessment of such charge, for the purpose of furnishing police and fire protection, and for the collection and disposal of refuse. The service charge rate for State-owned property shall be determined by dividing the expenditures as calculated in this subsection by the assessed fair market value of all real estate within the City, except real estate owned by the United States government or any of its instrumentalities, expressed in hundreds of dollars, including nontaxable property as listed in the land book of the City by the City Assessor. The resulting rate shall then be applied to the assessed value of the tax exempt property. For purposes of this subsection, the term "property owned by the Commonwealth" shall not include hospitals or educational institutions. As authorized by Code of Virginia, § 58.1-3403, a service charge shall be levied on faculty and staff housing of State educational institutions, regardless of the portion of State-owned property located within the City.

The fee or service charge imposed in Sections 12-101 and 12-102 shall be apportioned as to the amounts budgeted for the furnishing of fire protection and police protection and for the collection and disposal of refuse. Any real estate exempted from taxation under State law but subject to the imposition of a fee or service charge imposed in this article as authorized under Code of Virginia, §§ 58.1-3400 and 58.1-3403 from or for which the City does not collect and does not dispose of refuse shall be exempt from the payment of such proportion of the service charge imposed in Sections 12-101 and 12-102 as represents the proportionate amount of the expenditure used for computing such fee or service charge attributable to the collection and disposal of refuse. Real estate from which the City does not collect refuse but for which it does provide disposal services and for which the City imposes and collects a disposal fee shall not be assessed the portion of the fee or service charge imposed in Sections 12-101 and 12-102 attributable to collection and disposal of refuse.
