One of the questions I always get asked being a Northern Neck Real Estate agent is about property taxes.

Throughout the Northern Neck property taxes are much lower than my clients have been accustomed to paying.

I love driving up to a nice home sitting on a beautiful piece of waterfront property and my clients ask what the taxes are. When I tell them their first reaction is astonishment and their second question is “Guess what I pay?”

Nowhere in the Northern Neck are the property taxes lower than they are in Northumberland County. As a matter of fact it might be nowhere in Virginia.

The residents of Northumberland County pay $0.36 per hundred of the assessed value of their property. In most cases the assessed value is much lower than the actual value.

What is really cool about all of this is that the people of Northumberland didn’t demand a new school and the county government is having it built without raising taxes!

I think they should send that bunch in Washington down here to take lessons.
