Tax Rates
Harrisonburg's official motto is "The Friendly City." This is true in many ways, but especially in terms of the area's property taxes. Most buyers relocating from other areas simply can't believe how low our tax rates are!
The median price of a home in 2011 was $175,000. In the city, this would translate to an annual tax bill of $1,033 -- or about $86 per month. Below are the tax rates for the entire area.
