TAZEWELL, VA ( WVNS ) — Companies owned by West Virginia Governor Jim Justice (R-WV) continue to fight financial and legal battles.

This time, it involves Tazewell County, Virginia.

Tazewell County Treasurer David Larimer confirmed to 59News that coal companies owned by Governor Justice owe $572,692 in real estate, personal property, and mineral taxes. These fees are from 2018 to 2024.

Larimer stated that payments had been made in regards to what was owed and negotiations into resolving the issue have been going on for the greater part of the last year between the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors and the companies owned by Justice.

As part of the negotiations Larimer said, was the potential for property to be taken from Justice to aid in creating ATV Trails in the northern part of the county.

Negotiations remain active.
