Find an Arlington Tax Assessment and Understand the Value Behind It

Arlington County reassesses real estate every year at 100% of fair market value. The official Property Search is the fastest way to check the current assessment, land and improvement values, assessment history, sales information, tax balance and the Real Property Code attached to a parcel.

Arlington has one search quirk worth knowing before you start: the public search is built around the physical address, Real Property Code, tax-statement account number or trade name. It does not present the usual owner-name search field found on many county property portals.

Virginia market-value standard

Arlington assessed value is generally 100% of fair market value

No separate 25%, 35% or 40% residential assessment ratio

Arlington reassesses real property annually using mass-appraisal methods. For ordinary real estate, the January 1 assessment is intended to equal 100% of fair market value.

That means a residential property assessed at $900,000 is not reduced to a separate taxable percentage before Arlington’s basic real-estate tax rate is applied.

Basic 2026 residential formula: assessed value ÷ 100 × $1.053 = basic Arlington real-estate tax before any applicable relief, special commercial tax, BID charge or separate fee.

Why the County assessment can differ from a recent sale

Arlington uses mass appraisal rather than appraising one property in isolation. For the 2026 assessment, the County’s residential analysis period ran from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025. A purchase later than that period can therefore differ from the January 1, 2026 assessment even when both figures are reasonable for their dates.

2026 Arlington values

Residential values rose in 2026 while commercial conditions were weaker

1.1% total assessment growth Arlington reported that the total assessed value of all property increased 1.1% for calendar year 2026.
3.2% residential growth Residential property values increased 3.2% overall.
$882,900 average residential value The County reported the average residential property value increased from $854,900 to $882,900.
78% saw an increase Arlington reported that 78% of residential property owners saw their 2026 assessed value rise; the remainder were unchanged or decreased.
Do not add 3.2% to your prior value. That is an overall residential growth figure, not the formula used to value an individual condo, townhouse or detached home.
Commercial context: Arlington’s 2026 budget materials reported weaker existing commercial-office values, including continued pressure from office vacancy. Commercial property should be reviewed using the property’s own income, expense, use and market evidence.
2026 tax rate

The adopted 2026 Arlington real-estate rate is $1.053 per $100 of assessed value

The Arlington County Board adopted a two-cent increase from the 2025 rate of $1.033 to a calendar-year 2026 base real-estate tax rate of $1.053 per $100 of assessed value.

Estimate Arlington real-estate tax from the assessed value

Arlington tax calculator

Enter the assessed value from Property Search and the applicable tax rate per $100. The calculator defaults to the 2026 base rate of $1.053.

The result does not automatically include commercial taxes, BID rates, stormwater utility fees, exemptions, tax relief, penalties or account-specific adjustments.

Assessment $882,900
Estimated base tax $9,296.94

Formula: assessed value ÷ 100 × tax rate.

2026 appeal status

The ordinary 2026 Arlington assessment-appeal filing periods have passed

Arlington provides a Department Review first and a separate Board of Equalization appeal. Both ordinary 2026 application deadlines are now past.

1
January notice Annual assessment notices show the January 1 assessed value and parcel information.
2
March 2, 2026 Deadline for the Department of Real Estate Assessments review application.
3
April 15, 2026 Deadline for an ordinary Board of Equalization application.
4
After BOE Virginia law also allows eligible judicial review in Circuit Court.
Current status: Arlington’s online appeal page says forms are available only from January through the applicable deadline. If a form is no longer shown, the filing deadline has passed.

What can support an assessment appeal?

Incorrect square footage
Incorrect bathroom or property data
Relevant sales below the assessed value
Comparable assessment inequity
Condition photographs
Repair or damage documentation
Independent appraisal
Correct analysis-period sales
The appeal is about value or equity—not higher taxes. Arlington states that the owner has the burden of showing that the assessment is inaccurate or unfair.

Mail timing changed in importance: Arlington warns that USPS postmarks reflect the date the mailpiece is processed, not necessarily the day you placed it in the mail. A mailed payment needs a qualifying postmark by the deadline to avoid late charges.
Stormwater fee: Arlington’s property system also displays the County stormwater utility fee on applicable real-estate tax accounts. Do not mistake that separate fee for part of the $1.053 real-estate tax rate.

10 Arlington-specific answers

Arlington tax assessment search and values FAQs

1. Where can I search Arlington County property assessments?

Use the official Arlington Property Search at propertysearch.arlingtonva.us. The current search supports physical address, Real Property Code, tax-statement account number and trade-name searches.

2. Can I search Arlington property assessments by owner name?

The current public Property Search does not provide a standard owner-name search field. The cleanest options are the physical property address or Arlington Real Property Code, commonly called the RPC.

3. What is an Arlington RPC?

RPC means Real Property Code. It is Arlington’s parcel identifier and is useful when moving between assessment history, tax balances, appeal documents and other property research.

4. Is Arlington real estate assessed at 100% of market value?

Yes. Arlington states that real estate is reassessed annually and the assessment is intended to represent 100% of fair market value as of January 1. There is no separate 25% or 35% residential assessment ratio.

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

The adopted calendar-year 2026 base real-estate tax rate is $1.053 per $100 of assessed value. Certain commercial properties can also be subject to the $0.125 commercial-and-industrial tax and applicable Business Improvement District rates.

6. Why can my 2026 Arlington assessment differ from a recent purchase price?

Arlington uses mass appraisal and analyzes neighborhood sales rather than relying on one transaction. For the 2026 assessment, the residential analysis period ran from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025, so a later purchase can reflect a different market date.

7. Can I still file an ordinary 2026 Arlington assessment appeal?

The normal 2026 deadlines have passed. Department Review applications were due March 2, 2026, and Board of Equalization applications were due April 15, 2026.

8. When is the next Arlington real-estate tax payment due?

Arlington bills real-estate tax in two installments. The first was due June 15, 2026, and the second regular installment is due October 5, 2026.

9. What is the 2026 Arlington Real Estate Tax Relief deadline?

Arlington’s published 2026 Real Estate Tax Relief filing deadline is November 16, 2026. The program serves qualifying homeowners age 65 or older and certain totally and permanently disabled homeowners who meet the applicable ownership, income, asset and other rules.

10. Where can I search Arlington deeds and recorded land documents?

Use the Arlington Circuit Court Land Records Division. Its online records system provides free basic index information, while document images are available under the current per-page or subscription pricing.

Verify with the official Ohio source

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.
