The City of Alexandria has begun distributing tax bills for the first half of 2025, which include real estate taxes, refuse fees, and stormwater utility fees. Property owners and mortgage companies are advised to check their mail for these important documents, as payment is due by June 16.
For the year 2025, the real estate tax rate has been set at $1.135 per $100 of assessed property value. In addition to the real estate taxes, residents will also face a first-half refuse fee of $250. This comprehensive billing approach aims to streamline the payment process for property owners while ensuring that essential city services continue to be funded.
Residents are encouraged to review their bills carefully and reach out to city officials if they have any questions or concerns regarding their assessments or payment options. With the deadline approaching, timely payment will help avoid any penalties or late fees.
