The 2026 tax in six numbers

Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, Commissioner of the Revenue and the towns, tax year 2026

$0.805county real estate tax rate per $100 of assessed value for 2026, the same as 20251,2
$7,918yearly county tax on a house at the 2025 average single-family assessment, $983,6255
$141the average homeowner’s increase for 2026, the county says, from higher values3
$8,050yearly county tax on a home assessed at $1,000,000, outside the towns1
7 townsadd a town tax, from $0.066 to $0.290 per $100, on the same county bill6,11,10
June 5 · Dec 7the two due dates in 2026, half the year’s tax each4

The average is the county’s 2025 average single-family assessment, its latest published dollar figure, not a sale price. Bills here are worked out as the assessment divided by 100, times the rate, before any relief.

The rates

$0.805 per $100, the same as last year.

The Board of Supervisors kept the rate at $0.805 when it adopted the fiscal year 2027 budget on April 7, 2026.2,3 Every home pays it. Homes inside one of the seven towns add the town’s rate, and homes inside the Metrorail service districts add 20 cents.1,13

Loudoun County real estate tax rates for tax years 2026 and 2025, per $100 of assessed value. Your assessment notice shows which apply to your home.1,12,13
Rate20262025
Real property tax (county)Every property in the county$0.805$0.805
Dulles Rail (Metrorail) service districtsParcels inside the districts near the Metro stations, homes included$0.200$0.200
Town real estate taxOnly inside the seven towns, on the same bill (table below)$0.066 to $0.290$0.066 to $0.290

The Route 28 district rate ($0.105 in 2026) is charged on commercial and industrial property in that district, so it is left out. The town range runs from Round Hill to Hamilton.1

What you pay

About $7,918 a year on an average-value house.

The bill is figured the same way everywhere in Virginia: divide the assessment by 100, then multiply by the rate. The county has not published a 2026 dollar average, so the worked example uses its latest one: the 2025 average single-family assessment, $983,625.5 For 2026 the typical house rose about 1.4%.4

Yearly tax on a $983,625 house, 2026 rates

The 2025 average single-family assessment times each rate5,1,7,8

Before any relief. A Metrorail district home pays the county rate plus 20 cents.

The worked example. $983,625 ÷ 100 = 9,836.25. Times $0.805 = $7,918.18, or about $660 a month in a mortgage escrow.

The same house in Leesburg. Add 9,836.25 × $0.1774 = $1,744.95 for the town, $9,663 in all, on one county bill.7,6

A $1,000,000 home. $8,050 a year outside the towns. Each extra cent of rate adds $100 a year on that home.

Buying? The tax follows the assessment, not your price, and the county reassesses every year. The buying power calculator adds tax, insurance and HOA fees to your payment.

The calendar

Five dates in the 2026 tax year.

Assessment notices are not bills: they give the value as of January 1. The bill comes later, in two halves.4

  1. Notices mailed

    Assessment notices went out for the 2026 tax year.4

  2. Application for Review

    Last day to ask the Commissioner of the Revenue to review your assessment.4

  3. Board of Equalization

    Last day to appeal to the Board of Equalization.4

  4. First half due

    Half of the year’s county and town tax.4

  5. Second half due

    The other half. Lenders pay it from escrow for most owners.4

Towns

Seven towns add a town tax. Ashburn, Sterling and South Riding do not.

Only seven places in Loudoun are incorporated towns: Hamilton, Hillsboro, Leesburg, Lovettsville, Middleburg, Purcellville and Round Hill. Their owners pay the county rate plus the town’s, and the county collects both on one bill.6

Yearly tax on a $1,000,000 home

County rate plus the town rate; Middleburg and Hillsboro at their 2025 rates1,7,8,10,9,11,12

Not towns. Ashburn, Sterling, South Riding, Brambleton, Broadlands, Lansdowne, Cascades, Aldie and Waterford are not incorporated towns, so homes there pay no town tax: the county rate only, plus 20 cents inside a Metrorail service district.6,13

Purcellville. $0.212 for the town plus $0.030 for the Fireman’s Field Service District, which covers every property in town: $0.242 in all.8

Leesburg. 17.74 cents, the same as 2025. Lovettsville trimmed its rate to 14.4 cents; the Frye Court Service District adds 23.3 cents there.7,9

Not confirmed. Middleburg and Hillsboro had not posted a 2026 rate I could confirm; the table shows their 2025 rates from the state’s survey.12

Real estate tax of the seven incorporated towns, per $100 of assessed value, added to the county’s $0.805 on the same bill, and the yearly county plus town tax on a home assessed at $1,000,000 (at the 2025 rate where 2026 is not confirmed). Nearest to Chantilly first.6

Real estate tax that most homes pay in each Northern Virginia county and independent city, per $100 of assessed value, and the yearly tax on a home assessed at $1,000,000. Each row names its year and its source; towns and neighborhood districts add to the county figures.
