Fairfax County Property Tax Rates Historical Chart – Version 2

Thanks to a very helpful librarian at the City of Fairfax Regional Library, I was able to make a little more progress in my search to create a historical chart of propert tax rates.  I am back to 1968.

The chart below shows “effective” tax rates.  up until 1977, the actual rate was higher – but real estate was only valued at 40% of it’s total assessment.  I have adjusted those earlier years to make an “apples to apples” comparison.  The number represents the tax per $100 of assessed value – as in $1.09 for every $100 of assessed value.  Sorry the chart isn’t too fancy – but I wanted to get this out there before I forget.
