Tax Rate
Here Tops
D.C. Area
Montgomery County tax
payers have earned the dubi
ous honor of paying the
highest real estate tax rate
in the Washington area, a
survey of true tax rates
shows.
True real estate tax rates
show the amount paid for each
SIOO of the full market value
of real property. The county’s
actual rate was calculated by
multiplying the actual ratios of
assessment by the nominal gen
eral tax rates developed by the
Virginia Department of Taxa
tion.
True tax rates are an alter
nate means of expressing the
nominal tax rates set by gov
erning bodies to be paid on
eaeli SIOO of assessed value.
Since ratios of assessment
vary among localities, cal
culation of true rates is
necessary to make compar
isons.
True tax rates for the Wash
ington area jurisdictions are:
Montgomery County, $1,495;
Falls Church, $1.43; the Dis
trict, $1,375; Alexandria, $1.37;
Prince Georges, $1.29; Arling
ton, $1.23; Fairfax City, $1.17;
and Fairfax County, $1.13.
