Virginia Beach city, Virginia property-tax rates and deadlines
Tax bills, payment rules, and valuation-review windows are controlled by the local jurisdiction and the governing state framework. The reviewed record below separates published figures from items that still require confirmation with City of Virginia Beach Real Estate Assessor's Office; Commissioner of Revenue administers exemption/freeze programs; Treasurer collects taxes.
Rate context
Published$0.97 per $100 of assessed value for FY2026, plus special-service-district rates where applicable.
Statement mailing
Confirmthe Treasurer publishes a mailing formula (Friday before the preceding month's fifth date) but no separate 2026 mailing date.
Payment deadline
PublishedReal-estate taxes are billed in two installments due June 5 and December 5, 2026; if a due date falls on a weekend or City-recognized holiday, the next business day applies.
Valuation protest
Confirmthe official 2026 Board of Equalization page reviewed does not publish a 2026 filing deadline; the BOE hears equalization appeals independently of the Assessor.
Do not assume a grace period.
The reviewed record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.
Treat a published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.
From assessment to collection
01Valuation and notice
Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.
02Statement and account review
Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.
03Payment confirmation
Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
