Each local county or municipality in Virginia sets its own real estate property tax rates, which are measured as “cents per 100 dollars” of assessed value. The City of Charlottesville sets its own rates, independent of surrounding Albemarle County. The county supervisors or commissioners can decide to change the tax rates by a vote, and typically rates are updated at least every 3-4 years. Below is an updated list of real estate property tax rates that are current as of November 2016. Please check each county/municipality link for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
