Virginia Local Tax Rates

The only comprehensive view of local taxation in Virginia is prepared by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service. It is an indispensable resource for anyone involved with local governments in Virginia, either as a taxpayer, elected official, administrator, business leader, or researcher.  The Virginia Local Tax Rates book contains tax information for 29 Virginia cities, 92 counties, and for one of the state’s incorporated towns and references all the tax categories permitted in the Code of Virginia, as of 2024. The book compiles taxes for real property, special district tax levies, tangible personal property, machinery and tools, tobacco, meals, lodging, and more.  To compare with past years, visit the Virginia Department of Taxation.  For localities and professionals, additional background available includes the Data File and the Data Dictionary.
