NOTICE OF PROPOSED
._ - REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE
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 9.07
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 $0.9077 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$0.0823 per$100,
or 9.07 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 3.43 percent.
