Rate Breakdown

Property taxes in Nottoway County are calculated by multiplying the assessed value (minus exemptions) by the total local millage rate.

How Property Tax Works in Nottoway County

Property taxes in Nottoway County are based on the assessed value of real estate and personal property. The county assesses properties every year, with values reflecting fair market conditions. The tax rate, or millage rate, is set annually by the Board of Supervisors and applied to the assessed value. For example, if a home is assessed at $200,000 and the millage rate is $0.75 per $100 of assessed value, the annual tax would be $1,500.

• Assessment Process: Conducted by the Commissioner of the Revenue, assessments consider recent sales, property condition, and market trends.
• Millage Rate: Expressed per $100 of assessed value, combining rates for county, school, and other local taxes.
