About FVAIX
Franklin Virginia Tax-Free Income Fund Class C is a municipal bond mutual fund designed to deliver a high level of income that is exempt from both regular federal income taxes and Virginia state personal income taxes.

It supports public infrastructure and essential services by channeling investment into the state and local government sectors. With its emphasis on fixed income securities, the fund plays a specialized role for investors looking to preserve capital while securing a steady and predictable stream of tax-free income.
