Nearly all people are uninformed of being able tomake some changes in their Fairfax real estate taxes without legal action. Those who observe that their Fairfax VA homes are over-assessed can simply have their taxes reduced.
The tax assessor’s office in your region, jurisdiction or town carries out a yearly real estate taxassessment, but in most cases, they don’t need to personally see your home. This means they may be oblivious of the improvements, features and benefits some Fairfax VA homes may have. They only focus on the basic square footage, number of beds and baths, garage size, and lot size, as well as some other factos that depend on that certain county.
So if you discovere that your Fairfax real estate taxes are much higher than your neighbor’s, who isliving in a house with a similar size as yours, you might have a problem.
In a meeting with the Chief Budget Director for Taxation for Fairfax VA homes, he revealed that litigation or going through courts is useless in tax reassessment given that there’s a special administrative method to receiving lower yearly real estate taxes.
The procedure is fairly easy, given the size of the district and almost one million people residing here giving hundreds of millions of dollars yearly to the tax assessor’s office. Hediscusses with an example: if a Fairfax VA home is chargedat $350,000 and the tax is $1 for each thousand of the assessed value , that will lead to $3,500 per year. If you are reassessed at only $300,000, you would only need togive $3,000, giving you a discount of you $500 a year, whichdefinitely is quite substantial adding up year by year.
