Virginia property tax calculator 2026
This Virginia property tax calculator provides an estimated property tax based on assessed value and a local real estate tax rate. Virginia does not have a single statewide real estate property tax rate. Local rates are set by counties, cities, and towns, so results are estimates and actual tax bills may differ.
Estimates only. Loan terms and approval depend on lender underwriting.
Many U.S. counties use multiple local taxing authorities (county, city, school district, special districts). Enter your combined local millage rate as shown on your annual property tax notice.

How it works
The estimate applies a local real estate property tax rate to the taxable value you enter. In Virginia, real estate assessments are administered locally and are intended to reflect fair market value. Real estate taxation is primarily local, so the rate used for an estimate depends on the specific county, city, or town and can change over time.
Examples
This estimator illustrates how different local real estate tax rates affect an entered taxable value. Because Virginia rates vary by locality and may include additional district levies, the tool is designed for estimate use with locality-specific rate inputs.
Limitations and important notes
This is an estimate-only tool. It does not include a statewide Virginia real estate tax rate because none applies uniformly. It does not determine or fetch your locality’s rate, and it does not model locality-specific relief programs or exemptions that require an ordinance or eligibility conditions. The actual tax bill may differ based on locality, district levies, classification rules, and parcel-level factors.
FAQs
Does Virginia have a statewide real estate property tax rate?
No. Real estate is taxed locally in Virginia. Counties, cities, and towns set their own rates, so there is no single statewide real estate property tax rate for this estimate to apply.
What value is used for Virginia property tax estimates?
This calculator uses the taxable value you enter. In Virginia, real estate is assessed locally and is intended to reflect fair market value.
Does this calculator include my county or city tax rate automatically?
No. Virginia real estate tax rates vary by locality. To estimate property tax, you must use the local rate for the county, city, or town where the property is located.
Are Virginia exemptions or relief programs included in this estimate?
Not by default. Many property tax relief programs are adopted by local ordinance and depend on eligibility rules, so they are not included in a statewide estimate.
