How this is calculated
The effective property tax rate is the median real-estate tax bill divided by the median home value — both for owner-occupied homes, from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS 5-year estimates)1. Median income is also from the ACS1. Federal and state income-tax figures use IRS2 and Tax Foundation3 data.
About King George County, VA
King George County’s effective property tax rate of 0.526% falls below Virginia’s statewide median of 0.601%, placing it 96th among the state’s 133 counties. That gap matters less than the national picture: the U.S. median sits at 0.794%, so this county taxes property at roughly two-thirds of the countrywide figure. A median home value of $428,300 produces an annual real-estate tax bill near $2,254, set against a median household income of $116,884 and per-capita income of $49,659. Communities such as Dahlgren, King George, and Colonial Beach sit within these boundaries. Ranking in the lower third of Virginia counties signals a rate that leans lighter than much of the state, though the dollar figure still reflects a fairly expensive housing stock.
