Tax Rate
Here Tops
DC. Area

Montgomery County tax
payers have earned the dubi-
GUS honor of paying the
highest real estate tax rate
in the Washington area, a
survey of true tax rates
shows.
True real estate tax rates
show the amount paid for each
500 of the full market value
of real property. The county's
actual rate was calculated by
multiplying the actual ratios of
assessment by the nominal gen.
eral tax rates developed by the
Virginia Department of Taxa
ton.
True tax rates are an alter
nate means of expressing the
nominal tax rates set by gov
erning bodies to be paid on
each 500 of assessed value.
Since ratios of assessment
vary among localities, cal.
cuIatiOn of true rates is
necessary to make cOmpar-
isOns.
True tax rates for the Wash
ington area Jurisdictions are:
Montgomery County, S1.495;
Falls Church, SLAB; the Dis
trict, S1.375; Alexandria, $1.37;
