About Property Taxes in Virginia
Virginia property taxes are administered at the city and county level — Virginia has independent cities that function separately from surrounding counties, unlike most other states. Property is assessed at 100% of fair market value, and reassessments are required at least every four years (many localities reassess annually). Virginia tax rates vary significantly by locality, with rates generally higher in Northern Virginia (due to proximity to Washington D.C.) and lower in rural areas. Virginia also taxes personal property (vehicles) at the local level.
Payment & Assessment
Virginia property tax due dates vary by locality. Common schedules include: Annual billing: Due June 5 (many cities and counties) Semi-annual: Due June 5 and December 5 (many larger localities) Quarterly: Some localities bill quarterly Contact your local treasurer or commissioner of revenue for your specific due date. A 10% penalty applies to late payments in most localities, plus 10% annual interest. Most localities offer online payment.
