Summary answer: If your property is genuinely near an existing or planned data center facility, honest disclosure of any direct impact (noise, visual, traffic) is the right approach — but for most Leesburg properties, direct proximity isn't the relevant factor since the town's data center footprint is more limited than Ashburn's or Sterling's. The county-wide tax benefit applies to your sale regardless of exact proximity.
I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Let me give you the honest, complete picture for your specific situation.
Two different scenarios, addressed honestly
| Scenario | How to Approach It |
|---|---|
| Your property is genuinely near an existing facility | Disclose any documented direct impact (noise, visual) honestly; some buyers may have questions |
| Your property is in typical Leesburg (not near a facility) | The relevant story is the county-wide tax rate benefit, not direct proximity |
The genuine, two-sided context worth knowing
Loudoun's data center revenue has kept the tax rate at $0.805/$100, a real financial benefit — but real resident concerns exist too, including from sitting Board of Supervisors members, about noise, power demand, and development pace. Being able to speak to both sides honestly with a curious buyer builds credibility.
What to disclose if there's a genuine nearby facility
Virginia disclosure law covers known material defects — if a nearby facility genuinely affects your property, that's worth discussing honestly with your agent.
