Assessments of Arlington County Board Members
With 2010 real estate assessments now posted, kudos to the Arlington Sun Gazette’s Scott McCaffrey for reporting on the declines in the real estate assessments of the five Arlington County Board members. According to McCaffrey:
“Arlington’s five County Board members saw their own home assessments decline from 2009 to 2010, with the drops ranging from less than 1 percent to nearly 9 percent.
“Those drops mirror countywide trends, which showed the average assessment of residential properties down 3.25 percent, to $503,200, over the past year.
“But, as most of the five board members have owned their homes for significant amounts of time, their average home values have increases(sic) substantially during their ownership.”
McCaffrey reports how each Board members’ real property assessment changed. You can look-up your own property’s assessment at the following Arlington County webpage based upon real property code, street address, or economic unit.
