Greetings from the Occoquan District!

 

I hope you and your family are staying as cool as possible. As this heat wave continues, I wanted to take a moment to update you on a few things going on around the county and our district.

Government Transparency:

Your Tax Dollar at Work

As you know, your total real estate tax bill includes specific levies and fees based upon the property's assessed value, physical address, and type of property.The greatest impact on the real estate tax bill is the General Tax Levy. In an effort to promote transparecny, Prince William County recently launched an online tool that provides insight into how the General Tax Levy impacts the real estate tax bill, and illustrates what services Prince William County Government funds with that revenue.
