The real estate assessment is not a tax bill. The estimated
tax levy for 2017 shown on the statements mailed to homeowners is based on the
2017 assessment and the county’s 2016 tax rates. The Board of Supervisors
hasn’t yet set a tax rate for 2017, and will do so as part of the budget
process.

The proposed budget submitted by Deputy County Executive Ed
Long doesn’t propose an increase in the tax rate. Last year, the supervisors
increased the rate by 4 cents from $1.09 to $1.13 per $100 in assessed value.

Assessments are based on such factors as home sales in the
neighborhood, sales volume, average number of days it takes to sell a home,
improvements to the property, rezoning actions, new construction, size and age
of the property, and amenities.

"The proposed budget submitted by Deputy County Executive Ed Long doesn’t propose an increase in the tax rate." That's probably in anticipation of the BOS spendthrifts ratcheting up the tax rate and trying to pin the increase on the defeat of the meals tax. Unequalized tax hikes are the new normal. So, as of now, I'm already looking at an unequalized tax hike of $250. If I'm lucky, the school funding crazies won't cost me more than an additional $400 – $500.
Correction: What I meant to say was "If I'm lucky, the school funding crazies won't push that figure beyond $400 – $500. BTW: I don't know anyone whose assessment rose less than 4.0%. Mine was 4.01%. Those 1.3 percenters must live in refrigerator boxes.
My friends in Vienna saw theirs go up >20%. Ouch
Adam – 20% – OUCH! I know that these assessments are based on market rate, but I'm thinking there should be some kind of relief mechanism you can apply for if it goes up that fast.
I think they got re-appraised or something? They bought a short sale substantially under market and have since done a lot of work – so I think this is just catching up. Still sucks though
Ours was a 10 percent increase over last year, after several years of small increases. This is indeed the county's newest film-flam to raise tax revenue without creating new taxes or raising rates.
