NOTICE OF PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE

The County of Arlington, Virginia, proposes to increase property tax levies.

Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property, excluding additional assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year's total assessed value of real property by 2.8 percent.
Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.986 per $100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the "lowered tax rate."
Effective Rate Increase: The County of Arlington, Virginia proposes to adopt a tax rate of $1.013 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate would be $0.027 per $100, or 2.7 percent. This difference will be known as the "effective tax rate increase." Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above percentage.
Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on proposed real property tax rate and changes in other revenues, the total budget of Arlington County will exceed last year’s budget by 3.1 percent.
The County also proposes to maintain the real estate tax for properties used for or zoned to permit commercial and industrial uses at the current rate of $0.125 per $100. Revenue from this tax is dedicated for transportation initiatives.
The County also proposes to maintain the sanitary district tax at the current rate of $0.017 per $100 of assessed value. Revenue from this tax is dedicated for the stormwater management fund.

PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TAX RATE WILL BE HELD ON MARCH 30, 2023, AT 7:00 P.M. OR AS SOON THEREAFTER AS POSSIBLE, AT THE ELLEN BOZMAN GOVERNMENT BUILDING AT 2100 CLARENDON BLVD. SUITE 307 ARLINGTON VA 22201. Members of the public may participate virtually and in person.
