Virginia Local Tax Rates

The only comprehensive view of local taxation in Virginia is prepared by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service. It is an indispensable resource for anyone involved with local governments in Virginia, either as a taxpayer, elected official, administrator, business leader, or researcher. The Virginia Local Tax Rates book contains tax information for 28 Virginia cities, 79 counties, and for one of the state’s incorporated towns and references the tax categories permitted in the Code of Virginia, as of 2025. The book compiles taxes for real property, special district tax levies, tangible personal property, machinery and tools, tobacco, meals, lodging, and more.  For localities and professionals, additional background information is available in the 2025 Data File and the 2025 Data Dictionary. For comparison with past years, the 2024 tax book is available for download below, along with the 2024 Data File and Data Dictionary. Years prior to 2024 are available at the Virginia Department of Taxation.
