[quote=Anonymous]Fairfax County is becoming urban and is no longer suburban. There are pluses and minuses to that. Urban areas tend to be more expensive than rural or suburban areas. Our local tax rate for schools and government services is relatively low compared to other jurisdictions. Our property tax rates tend to hover around 1% percent. We have seen ours be as high as $1.23 and as low as $.87 as we have lived her almost 20 years. We pay less in both rate and amount than my sister in Connecticut with a house that has half the value. If we want excellent county services and schools, we will have to pay more in the future to have them.[/quote]
