Since Fiscal Year 2002,
the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has cut the real estate
tax rate five times for a grand total of 34 cents. The resultant
tax rate of $0.89 was the lowest rate in Fairfax
County's modern history. The FY 2009 Adopted Budget Plan includes a 3 cent increase in the tax rate from $0.89 to $0.92 per $100 of assessed value but due to lower residential assessment values, the average taxpayer in Fairfax County still will see some reduction in their tax bill.
