Comparing Monthly Property Tax Bills Between Harrisonburg and Rockingham County
By Scott Rogers • June 3, 2020
It seems that the real estate tax rate will stay the same in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County for 2020-21... City of Harrisonburg = $0.86 per $100 of assessed value Rockingham County = $0.74 per $100 of assessed value Despite no change in the real estate tax rates, many homeowners will see an increase in their real estate tax bill due to rising property values. The graph above tracks the City vs. County real estate tax bill for a median priced home -- and here is the underlying data... As shown above, it has become more expensive (16%) to pay property taxes on a home in the City of Harrisonburg as compared to a similarly priced (assessed) home in Rockingham County. Now -- does this cause anyone to move from the City to the County? Or does it cause anyone new to the area to buy in the County instead of the City? Not necessarily - or at least that has not been my experience in working with buyers and sellers in the past ten (+) years.
