Understanding Real Estate Assessments
The Department of Tax Administration (DTA) reviews the assessed values for all real property each year with January 1 as the effective date. In accordance with the Virginia Constitution, real estate is assessed in a uniform manner and at fair market value.
Tax Rates
The Board of Supervisors sets the general tax rate that applies to all real property in the county. Your tax bill might include other taxes related to special taxing districts and/or service fees.
Appeals
If you believe that your property is incorrectly assessed, you can file an appeal with the department or the Board of Equalization. Appeals may also be filed for properties that have been damaged, destroyed, or impaired by violence.
Tax Relief and Exemptions
The Code of Virginia exempts some property from taxation by classification and designation, such as property of churches and non-profit charities.
Additionally, your tax burden may be reduced if you meet certain qualifications. There are exemptions for:
Mobile Homes
Mobile homes are assessed and taxed through the Vehicle Tax. More information can be found on the Vehicle Tax page.
