What a $600,000 home pays

How assessments work
The Loudoun County Commissioner of the Revenue assesses every property each year at 100% of fair market value as of Jan. 1. Notices go to the owner of record in January. A notice is not a bill; it shows the new value, the past three years’ values and the change in taxes levied. If you bought after Jan. 1, look up the value in the county’s parcel database. There is no local income tax.
How to appeal an assessment
- Application for Review. After the January notice arrives, call the assessor named on it, then file an Application for Review with the Commissioner of the Revenue online at loudoun.gov/reaa. The 2026 deadline was March 16, 2026; the 2027 date will be on next year’s notice.
- Board of Equalization. If you still disagree, appeal to the Board of Equalization, a citizen board that can raise, lower or keep an assessment. In 2026 it began taking appeals April 17, and all evidence (maps, photos, comparable sales) had to be filed by June 1. Residential owners are encouraged to use the online appeal form; online filings are scheduled first.
Tax relief
- Older adults and people with disabilities: homeowners 65 or older, or permanently and totally disabled, who meet the county’s income and net worth limits can be relieved of real estate tax on the home and up to three acres. First-time real estate applicants for 2026 must apply by Dec. 31, 2026; first-time vehicle applicants had until Sept. 1. Qualifying owners also get a lower vehicle rate, $1.50 per $100 in 2026. Call 703-737-8557.
- Car tax relief: state personal property tax relief cuts the bill on a qualifying personal vehicle by 41% for 2026, up from 28% in 2025.
- Disabled veterans: one vehicle owned and used by a veteran rated permanently and totally disabled is taxed at $0.
- Other programs, including land use assessment and the revitalized real estate exemption, are on the county’s Tax Relief and Exemptions page.
What this means for you
- The second half of the 2026 real estate bill is due Dec. 5.
- Moved here with a car? Register it with the Commissioner of the Revenue, which sets up both the county tax and the town’s $25 license fee.
