Vienna Notice of Intent to Adopt Proposed Budget for FY2023-24

FCTA Note:
The following notice was published on page B6 of the Washington Times on 05/04/2023 and 05/11/2023. On the same page, a separate notice states: Real estate property tax rate for Fiscal Year 2023-24 of $0.195 per $100 of assessed valuation which represents an effective tax rate increase of 1.5%.

Like Fairfax County, Vienna is ignoring a large real estate assessment increase. So the quoted 1.5% tax rate increase understates the average actual increase in your Vienna real estate taxes for the year.
