Harrisonburg Real Estate Tax Rates in a Historical Context
Scott P. Rogers
Per a reader's request, I have updated this super-long historical context of real estate tax rates in the City of Harrisonburg.
This graph can be a bit deceiving in its attempts towards being legible -- the y-axis does not start at zero. As such, it makes some of the historical tax rates (around $0.60) seem closer to zero than they really are.
That said, the trajectory of the real estate tax rate over the past five-ish years is quite striking in a historical context.
OF NOTE -- the 2017 value ($1.025 per $100 of assessed value) is a proposed, not approved, tax rate.
