Frederick Goes From Partial to Full 100 Percent Assessment
Frederick County becomes the last Virginia jurisdiction to adopt 100 percent real estate assessment under new state law. Tax rates are adjusted to reflect the change in appraisal practice, making county and city tax-rate differences clearer. A $10,000 lot would move from $2,000 assessed value at 20 percent to $10,000 at 100 percent, with a corresponding tax-rate adjustment.
