How This Calculator Works
Virginia's average effective property tax rate is 0.74% of a home's value each year, the 15th highest of 51, in the top third. On the state's typical home, worth about $390,000, that comes to roughly $2,886 a year, or $241 a month in escrow.
Because home prices differ so much, the yearly bill ranks differently from the rate: Virginia's bill on a typical home is 28th of 51, near the middle. On a $350,000 home it would be about $2,590.
