NOTICE OF PROPOSED
REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
AND PUBLIC HEARING
Tax Increase Caused by Increase in Annual Assessment
The City of Virginia Beach proposes to increase property tax levies.
1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property,
excluding additional assessments due to new construction or
improvements to property, exceeds last year's total assessed value of
real property by 2.4 percent.
2. Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The
tax rate, which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last
year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate
with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.967 per $100 of
assessed value. This rate will be known as the"lowered tax rate."
3. Effective Rate Increase: The City of Virginia Beach proposes to
adopt a tax rate of$0.99 per$100 of assessed value. The difference
between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate would be$0.023
per $100, or 2.4 percent. This difference will be known as the
"effective tax rate increase."
Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage
greater than or less than the above percentage.
4. Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real
property tax rate and changes in other revenues,the total budget of the
City of Virginia Beach will exceed last year's by 2.1 percent.
NOTE: The FY 2016-17 Operating Budget as submitted to the City Council
proposes maintaining the current real estate tax rate at$0.99 on each$100
of assessed real property. Since the effective rate increase in
assessments is over 1.00%, the preceding information was provided
pursuant to Code of Virginia § 58.1-3321.
Public Hearing
A Public Hearing on the effective rate increase will be held on Tuesday,
April 26,2016 at 6:00 p.m.in the City Council Chamber on the second floor
of the City Hall Building (Building #1), 2401 Courthouse Drive, Virginia
Beach,Virginia.This hearing is open to the public,and all interested citizens
will have an opportunity to be heard. Individuals desiring to provide written
