Summary answer: The City of Fredericksburg's real estate tax rate for FY2027 (effective July 1, 2026) is $0.84 per $100 of assessed value, plus a $0.01 fire tax — a combined $0.85. On a $500,000 home (near Fredericksburg's typical value), that's roughly $4,250 per year, or about $354 per month.

What this rate means at Fredericksburg's price levels
| Home Value | Estimated Annual Tax |
|---|---|
| $475,000 (typical value) | ~$4,038 |
| $538,000 (upper median range) | ~$4,573 |
| $600,000 (Downtown-tier) | ~$5,100 |
Why this genuinely beats Northern Virginia
At $0.85 per $100, Fredericksburg's rate runs meaningfully lower than Fairfax County's $1.1225 — a real, ongoing savings on top of the area's already lower home prices. Worth noting: the rate increased four cents this year (from $0.80 to $0.84), the second consecutive four-cent increase, so budget with some room for future increases.
