The county assessments are out. You can find yours at the county website.
Despite the dire warnings I have read on Internet and on blogs, my real estate assessment didn’t go up all THAT much. At one quick glance I determined that if the $1.158 published tax rate goes through, then I might be paying about $13 [editorial correction from earlier amount] more dollars per month in real estate taxes. That is not going to break the bank.
The hype and scare that some politicians are trying to work up in the Gainesville District are simply that, hype and scare. I heard about all the mock concern for the working class people (read: those who don’t live in a McMansion) That would be me. I am not whining. I live in a perfectly ordinary older home in a 40 plus year old neighborhood. Lots of Prince William residents do. I would say my assessment is pretty typical. I did notice my house went up 9k more than my neighbor’s house that is the same model. Maybe it was the bathroom upgrades and the new roof.
