If you own a home in Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, or anywhere else in the area, understanding Loudoun County property tax is one of the more useful things you can do as a homeowner this year.

Your annual bill is shaped by two things working together: the assessed value of your home and the tax rate set each spring by the Board of Supervisors. When assessments jump, your tax bill can move in ways that catch you off guard, and knowing how the system works puts you in a better position to plan ahead, budget accurately, and push back when something looks off.

Everything Loudoun County homeowners need to know about property tax in 2026, including the current real estate tax rate, how assessments are determined, and how to appeal your Loudoun County property tax assessment before the June 1 Board of Equalization deadline. From the Garrell Group.

What Headlines Miss About Loudoun County Real Estate in 2026 🏡

Loudoun County real estate doesn't follow the script that national headlines are writing. Every month, we see splashy reports about listing inventory levels and prices across the country. And every month, those numbers tell a story that has very little to do with what's actually happening here in Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, and other Loudoun County communities.

If you're thinking about buying or selling a home in Northern Virginia, the information that matters most is closer to home than you think. Check out our latest blog post for a break down of the January 2026 real estate market report at three levels - national, regional, and local - to see why the local picture is the one that counts. 👇

National real estate headlines don't reflect your local market. See how Loudoun County real estate performed in January 2026, why our market stands apart from national trends, and what it means for buyers and sellers in Ashburn, Leesburg, and Sterling.

2025 was one for the books.

Between buyers, sellers, and renters, we helped 107 families successfully make their move last year. That is 107 new chapters, 107 sets of keys, and 107 big decisions trusted to our team.

Some of the highlights you’ll see in this carousel include standout sales, properties that are active now, and homes currently pending as we head into a strong new year.
As another sidenote, our current under contracts have all escalated on average over $50,000 over the list price. That kind of result does not happen by accident. It comes from strategy, preparation, and knowing how to position a property or an offer in today’s market.

Grateful for the families who chose us in 2025. If a move is on your radar this year, we are ready to help you do it the right way.
