Common Questions

What is a real estate tax assessment?

A real estate tax assessment is the value placed on your property by the local government for the purpose of calculating property taxes. It is typically a percentage of the property's estimated market value.

How does my assessment affect my mortgage?

Your property tax is based on the assessed value. Higher assessments mean higher property taxes, which are often included in your monthly mortgage payment through an escrow account. Changes in your assessment can affect your monthly payment.

Can I appeal my assessment?

Yes. Most jurisdictions allow property owners to appeal their assessment if they believe it is inaccurate. Contact your local assessor's office for deadlines and procedures.

How often are properties reassessed?

In Virginia, most localities reassess properties annually or biennially. Fairfax County reassesses all properties annually as of January 1 each year.
