Williamsburg Info (Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake: real estate, home, taxi)

[j9ingr]

Hi..we are currently considering taking a job offer in Williamsburg and have noticed that the housing is outrageous compared to where we will be coming from. I was curious what the property taxes run for a home around 260,000
I don't want to be shell shocked after the fact. No one seems to be able to tell me... I know I am use to paying 1.2% of the value... Our home was 200,00 and we paid 2100.00 a year... Thanks
