Real Estate Taxes in VA

[Wesley W.]

Hi folks,

Out of stater here looking to analyze deals in VA. In my local MLS market, the RE taxes are itemized on the MLS report (which I can then verify through the municipality's web site).

How does it work in VA? The MLS reports I have from Richmond do not have the tax amounts on them, and a cursory web search has not yielded anything, either.

I apologize for my ignorance, but how do taxes work in VA? Do you have both city/county and school taxes attached to property ownership (that's how it is in NY)? Where I can find those tax amounts from an independent source (read: not involved in the RE transaction) in order to analyze the deal?

Thanks in advance!
