With all the counties in "the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District at 100 percent fair market value assessment of land in 1982, it no longer takes a computation of true effective tax rate from the State Department of Taxation in order to compare Rappahannock’s levy with that of the other four counties in the district.
According to a data summary prepared by the Planning District Commission staff, Rappahannock’s tax rate on real estate for 198283 was half that charged in Culpeper and Fauquier and substantially lower than the rate in Madison and Orange.
A rate of 32 cents per $100 of assessed value gave Rappahannock the bottom rung of the tax ladder. Next came Madison with 44 cents per $100, Orange with 50 cents, Culpeper with 68 cents and Fauquier with 73 cents.
The total assessed value of real estate on which those rates were applied in 1982 stood at $1,213,179,920 in Fauquier; $547,809,617 in Culpeper; $490,057,530 in Orange; $261,850,850 in Madison and $247,384,754 in Rappahannock.
The population rankings paralleled the tax rankings. Fauquier, the county with the highest tax levy in 1982, had the biggest population— 35,889 in 1980. Culpeper was next with 22,620 residents followed by Orange with 18,063, Madison with 10,232 and Rappahannock with 6,093.
