Taxes are double. But my house has definitely not doubled in value. Not even close. I live in south Arlington so my 800K home 10 years ago now is worth maybe 950k.

fairfax county doesn't have the bills for every year on the website (or at least I can't find them), but they have the property assessments. My assessment has gone up 44% in 10 years, and I suppose my taxes have, too?

I am very fortunate that our PITI is still very low relative to our income, so I don't really think about it.

What is the point of this exercise

$400 increase from last year. We purchased 3 years ago. Not DMV.

Yes, that's 100% accurate. It shows the actual bills everyone gets in the mail. Whatever people post on here won't be accurate because most people have poor memories of things that happened 10 years ago.

Why on earth wouldn’t it be?

Good Lord. I hope you are pondering a move in the near term.

We weren't living here ten years ago, but our property tax bill (MoCo) has gone up 30% in that time.

We bought our house 8 years ago. According to the city the value has gone up 20% in that time. Our tax bill has gone up 50%. Ouch.

Nearly double

How much did you pay last year? What is the difference in comparison to what you paid 10 years ago?
