[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks Fairfax County for the meals tax, the real estate assessment increase, and VA Dems for proposing more taxes. Keep voting blue. Tax and spend, tax and spend. 
Vote [/quote]

I'm good with it. What's your problem?[/quote]

The real estate tax rate remained flat and I voted in favor of the meals tax when it was on the ballot. [/quote]

RE tax remaining flat is an illusion.  [b]The rate remained the same, but assessed values increased[/b], increasing tax bills to taxpayers and increasing revenue for the County.  The County has a spending problem, not an income problem.  [/quote]

I’m aware of this. I also believe we are starting to see a downturn in home values. [/quote]

Not according to the assessment notice I received yesterday from the County.  My taxes are increasing.  [/quote]

Yes, based on the previous year’s sales. 2026 has slowed. Houses are on the market longer and sales prices are down. Government layoffs and shutdowns aren’t helping.[/quote]

The metric the County uses reflects increasing home values, not flat or decreasing.  That's why taxes are going up while the rate remains unchanged, allowing the County to take in more revenue without the negative implications for the Supervisors' political futures if they just raise the rate.  .
