The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors authorized advertisement of a real estate tax rate for Fiscal Year (FY) 2018 of $1.13 per $100 of assessed value, which is the current FY 2017 rate.
Advertising an increase in the rate does not prevent the board from lowering any advertised tax rate, but a higher tax rate cannot be imposed without advertising the higher rate.
The value of a penny on the Real Estate Tax Rate is $23.75 million in FY 2018.
Public hearings on the proposed FY 2018 Budget and tax rate are held in the Fairfax County Government Center Board Auditorium:
- April 4, 4 p.m.
- April 5, 1 p.m.
- April 6, 1 p.m.
Those wishing to speak at a public hearing can sign up online to place their name on the speakers list or contact the Office of the Clerk to the Board at 703-324-3151, TTY 703-324-3903. The public hearings will be held in the Board Auditorium, Fairfax County Government Center and will be shown live on Fairfax County Government Channel 16.
