Good question, but no easy answer. Neither the County nor the Town has set its new tax rate. In the unlikely event that the taxing authorities ask for no more money than last year, the “equalization rate” for the Town would be .0027 and for the County .0070. Add them together and you get .0097 (assuming the property is inside Town limits). Now look at your reassessed property value here: http://www.co.northampton.va.us/gov/pdf/2013_Reassessment_Book.pdf. Multiply the value times .0097 and you have a hypothetical tax that may be more or may be less than you paid last year. An easier way, as noted in the story, is just to divide your new property assessed value by 100 to get a guesstimate of your combined new tax bill. -EDITOR
