The current tax rate for real estate in Rockingham County is $0.58 per $100 of assessed value. 
($200k home / 100 * .58 = $1,160 annually). 

The proposed budget for the 2008-2009 fiscal year would increase property tax rates for the 2008 calendar year by $0.02 to $0.60 per $100 of assessed value. 
($200k home / 100 * .60 = $1,200 annually).
