How it works
The City reassesses property to reflect fair market value, and that assessed value is used directly for taxation. Virginia Beach states that real estate is assessed at 100% of fair market value. The real estate tax rate is expressed as a dollar amount per $100 of assessed value. To estimate annual property tax, the assessed value is divided by 100 and multiplied by the published base rate.
Examples
If a property has an assessed value of 400,000, the calculation would be 400,000 ÷ 100 × 0.97, resulting in an estimated annual property tax of 3,880 under the published base rate. Properties located in a Special Service District may be subject to an additional district-level rate.
Limitations and important notes
This estimator uses the published citywide base real estate tax rate and applies it to assessed value. Properties located within Special Service Districts may face higher effective rates. Exemptions and tax relief programs, such as those for elderly, disabled, or qualifying veterans, are eligibility-based and are not automatically included. The actual tax bill may differ from this estimate.
