Search the Arlington Assessment and Open the Records Behind the Property

Arlington County’s property database is more than a value lookup. Once you identify the parcel, the record can show assessment history, owner and legal-description information, improvements, sales, permits, property balances, archived property cards and annual assessment notices.

The fastest approach is to search by address or Real Property Code, verify the parcel, then open only the record tab that answers your question. Arlington assesses real estate annually at 100% of fair market value.

Arlington terminology: this is Arlington County, Virginia. The assessment office is the Department of Real Estate Assessments. Arlington uses the term Real Property Code (RPC) for the parcel identifier shown in its property system.

Quick answer: address or RPC is the cleanest way into Arlington Property Search

Use the official Arlington Property Search. The current search screen supports property address, Real Property Code, tax statement account number and trade name. It does not offer a personal owner-name search box on the starting screen.

2 Verify Match RPC and physical address.

Choose the Arlington property record you need

A tax assessment search can lead to several different records. Use the section that matches the job you are trying to finish.

Portal-specific search options

Arlington Property Search gives you four different starting methods

Property Address

The search form separates the address into number, direction, street name, street type and unit number.

Best for most homeowners and buyers
Real Property Code

Arlington’s RPC uniquely identifies the parcel. The portal currently allows up to 50 RPCs entered as a comma-separated list.

Find the RPC on an assessment notice
Tax Statement Account #

Use this route when you already have the tax-statement account number from Arlington tax paperwork.

Useful when working from a tax statement
Trade Name

The current portal also includes a trade-name search field for property associated with a known trade name.

Not the same as a personal owner-name search
Owner-name search limitation: the current starting page does not provide a personal owner-name search field. Once you locate a parcel by another method, its General Information record can display the owner name associated with the assessment record.
Open Arlington Property Search
What the database actually contains

The property result is a record hub, not just an assessment number

After you open an Arlington parcel, the available navigation can include General Information, Assessments, Property Balances, Improvements, Sales, Permits, Economic Unit, Resubdivision, Site Plan/Rezoning, archived property cards, Stormwater Information and annual Assessment Notices.

Arlington Property Search record tabs and what to use them for
Record tab
Useful for
Check carefully
General Information
Owner display, legal description, mailing address, year built, property class, zoning, lot size, neighborhood and map references.
Assessment owner information is not a title opinion.
Assessments
Land value, improvement value, total value, effective date and reason for assessment change.
Use the correct assessment year.
Property Balances
Tax-related balance information connected with the property.
Use the Treasurer/CAPP system for live payment action.
Improvements
Building and physical-improvement information used in property research.
Look for factual size or feature errors before challenging value.
Sales
Sales date, price, grantee and sale-code information.
A sale marked as non-market should not automatically be treated as a fair-market comparable.
Permits
Permit-related history associated with the parcel.
Recent work can explain an assessment change.
Resubdivision
Parcel-change information when applicable.
Contact the assessment records team before recording a resubdivision.
Site Plan / Rezoning
Related site-plan or rezoning information where applicable.
Do not treat assessment information as a current zoning determination for a proposed project.
Archives – Property Card
Older property-card information available for the parcel.
Historic records may describe an earlier property configuration.
Assessment Notice
Download or view annual assessment notices by year.
The notice is an assessment notice, not the tax bill.
Stormwater detail: some Arlington property records also show a Stormwater Information section. Arlington’s stormwater utility fee is separate from the real-estate assessment and is billed on the real-estate tax bill.
Assessment notice copy

You can retrieve the property’s annual assessment notice from the same portal

Arlington’s assessment FAQ directs property owners to Property Search when they need another copy of the most recent assessment notice.

Search the physical address or RPC Use the same Arlington Property Search used for assessment research.
Open the correct parcel Confirm the RPC and physical address before downloading anything.
Open Assessment Notice The parcel record provides assessment notices by available assessment year.
Select the year you need Current parcel pages can show 2026 and prior-year notices where available.
Read the notice as a valuation notice—not a bill The 2026 notice states that it represents the January 1, 2026 assessed value and that the assessment is 100% of estimated fair market value.
Why your January 2026 notice may show “TBD” for the 2026 tax rate: assessments were issued before the County Board adopted the calendar-year 2026 real-estate tax rate. The Board later set that rate at $1.053 per $100 of assessed value.
Annual fair-market assessment

Arlington assesses ordinary real estate at 100% of fair market value

No separate residential assessment percentage

Arlington’s Department of Real Estate Assessments re-assesses real property every year. For single-family homes and condominiums, the County states that assessments are made at 100% of fair market value.

That differs from states where market value is first multiplied by a separate residential assessment ratio. In Arlington, a $900,000 fair-market assessment is ordinarily a $900,000 assessed value before tax-rate calculations.

How residential value is developed

Neighborhood sales County appraisers review sales within the neighborhood and compare similar sold properties with similar unsold properties.
Land + improvement The assessment record separates land value and improvement/building value before showing the total.
Age and condition Arlington’s published methodology says replacement-cost estimates are adjusted for the age and condition of structures.
Assessment-history tip: the Assessments tab can show separate land, improvement and total values across multiple years. Compare the component that changed instead of looking only at the total.
Calendar-year 2026 rate

Estimate 2026 Arlington real-estate tax from the assessed value

On April 22, 2026, the Arlington County Board adopted a calendar-year 2026 real-estate tax rate of $1.053 per $100 of assessed value, up from $1.033.

Arlington base-tax calculator

Enter the property’s assessed value. The rate is prefilled with the adopted 2026 base real-estate rate and can be edited for comparison.

This estimate does not add stormwater utility charges, special district rates, penalties, tax relief or other parcel-specific adjustments.
Assessed value $800,000
Estimated base annual tax $8,424

Formula: assessed value ÷ 100 × tax rate.

Special-property warning: Arlington’s assessment notice states that certain properties may be subject to additional real-estate tax rates adopted by the County Board.

Public assessment records vs legal land records

The Arlington Land Book and a recorded deed answer different questions

Arlington states that real-estate assessments are public records. The Land Book records the property owner name, assessment amount and taxes levied, and the information is accessible through Property Search.

Assessment / Land Book research
  • Owner display used in assessment records
  • RPC and property description
  • Land and improvement values
  • Assessment history
  • Taxes levied
  • Sales and property characteristics

Arlington also keeps Land Book copies through Real Estate Assessments, the Treasurer and the Circuit Court Clerk.

Circuit Court Land Records
  • Recorded deeds
  • Recorded land instruments
  • Document index information
  • Recorded plats and related records

Use this office when you need the recorded instrument rather than the County’s assessment display.

No-result troubleshooting

If Arlington Property Search does not find what you expected

You only know the owner’s personal name The starting search form does not offer a personal owner-name field. Obtain the property address or RPC from another reliable record.
The property is a condo Include the unit number and verify the exact condominium unit after opening results.
You have an RPC from a notice Use the RPC search directly rather than rebuilding the street address.
You need an old assessment notice Open the property first, then use the Assessment Notice section to select an available year.
You are looking for the deed Stop using Property Search and move to Circuit Court Land Records.
You are looking for today’s tax balance Use the Treasurer/CAPP system rather than relying on the assessment value.
The parcel was resubdivided Review the Resubdivision record and contact the assessment records team if the current RPC or configuration is unclear.
The parcel has a stormwater issue Use the property’s Stormwater Information when available and contact the County stormwater program for fee-specific questions.
Resubdivision recordation: Arlington’s assessment department specifically asks users to contact its records team before recordation of any resubdivision at 703-228-3920 or assessments@arlingtonva.us.

The regular Arlington 2026 assessment-review deadlines have passed

For the 2026 assessment, Arlington set March 2, 2026 as the deadline to request review by the Department of Real Estate Assessments and April 15, 2026 as the Board of Equalization filing deadline.

Department review 2026 application deadline: March 2. This first-level review period is closed.
Board of Equalization 2026 application deadline: April 15. The BOE is independent from the assessment department.
Circuit Court Arlington lists court action as the third level in the assessment-appeal process. That route is a legal proceeding, not another property-search form.
September 2026: do not submit an old review form assuming it will preserve a normal 2026 administrative appeal. Contact the Department of Real Estate Assessments about the specific parcel and review any remaining legal options that may apply.

10 Arlington-specific answers

Arlington County tax assessment search FAQs

1. Where can I search Arlington County property assessments?

Use Arlington County’s official Property Search at propertysearch.arlingtonva.us. The search screen supports property address, Real Property Code (RPC), tax statement account number and trade name. Open the matching parcel and verify the RPC and address before using the assessment.

2. Can I search Arlington County property records by owner name?

The current Arlington Property Search start screen does not provide a personal owner-name search field. Search by property address, RPC, tax statement account number or trade name. Once you open a parcel, the General Information record displays the owner name associated with that assessment record.

3. Where can I find an Arlington Real Property Code (RPC)?

Arlington County says the unique RPC appears on the annual property assessment notice. The online Property Search also displays the RPC after you open the correct parcel, and the search page allows up to 50 RPCs to be entered at once, separated by commas.

4. How do I get a copy of my 2026 Arlington assessment notice?

Search the property by physical address or RPC, open the parcel, then use the Assessment Notice section and select the 2026 notice. Arlington’s FAQ says assessment notices are available online by assessment year.

5. Is an Arlington County assessment the same as the property’s fair market value?

For ordinary Arlington real estate, assessments are made annually at 100% of fair market value. The 2026 notice represents the County’s estimate of fair market value as of January 1, 2026.

6. What is Arlington County’s 2026 real estate tax rate?

The County Board adopted a calendar-year 2026 real estate tax rate of $1.053 per $100 of assessed value. Certain properties can also have additional district charges or fees, so use the Treasurer’s account for the actual bill.

7. When are Arlington County real estate taxes due in 2026?

Arlington bills real estate tax in two regular installments. The first installment was due June 15, 2026, and the second installment is due October 5, 2026. If a due date falls on a weekend or holiday, County rules move the penalty date to the next business day.

8. Can I still file a normal 2026 Arlington real estate assessment appeal?

The regular 2026 Department of Real Estate Assessments review deadline was March 2, 2026, and the Board of Equalization application deadline was April 15, 2026. Both have passed as of September 2026. Contact the assessment office about the status of a specific property or any remaining legal review options.

9. What is the difference between Arlington Property Search and Circuit Court Land Records?

Property Search is for assessment, parcel, owner-display, building, sales, permit and tax-related property data. Circuit Court Land Records is the source for recorded deeds and other land instruments. An assessment owner field is not a substitute for a deed or title search.

10. Why is a stormwater charge shown with an Arlington real estate tax bill?

Arlington County separately assesses a stormwater utility fee and bills it on the real estate tax bill. The Property Search may show Stormwater Information for applicable parcels. Questions about that fee go to the County’s stormwater utility program rather than the real estate appraiser.

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
