Overview:

Reassessment is the process of determining the value of property or land for tax purposes. Reassessments are required by law to ensure that each property is valued fairly. The purpose of property tax reassessment is to realign the values of real property that are determined, with values of other kinds of property that are assessed annually, such as personal property, utilities, and mobile homes.

Per the Code of Virginia, Dinwiddie County is required to reassess all real property at least every six years, at fair market value. Property taxes are calculated using the assessed value and the tax rate. The current reassessment results went into effect on Jan. 1, 2019. At their July 18, 2023 meeting, the Board selected Wampler-Eanes Appraisal Group to perform the 2024 General Reassessment, effective January 1, 2025.

Over the past 27 years, Wampler-Eanes, based in Daleville, VA, has performed 153 reassessments for 55 localities and assessed more than 2.4 million properties in Virginia and North Carolina. Wampler-Eanes conducted Dinwiddie County’s last general reassessment, effective January 1, 2019.

A reassessment will result in a new value being established for your property. This updated assessment will replace the current value of your property and will be the amount on which your property is taxed. Please remember an increase or decrease in property value does not automatically indicate an increase or decrease in your property taxes. The Dinwiddie County Board of Supervisors determines tax rates as part of the annual budget development.

The County was divided into smaller neighborhoods for market comparison. A field inspector visited each property, who verified property data, and collected additional information. The field review was conducted with the homeowner if they were at home at the time. The work of field inspectors was reviewed by field supervisors. Data collected were entered into the mass appraisal system and accuracy was validated. Neighborhood sales, land values, yearly appreciation trends, and other data were analyzed throughout the process.

The most frequent cause of change in value results from a change in the market. When market value changes, so do assessed values. A property's value can also change for other reasons, such as additions, garages, remodeling, or damage or destruction.

The Wampler-Eanes Reassessment Team is already working to evaluate sales data to determine how much the market has changed since 2019. Field visits will begin in November 2023, and continue through the fall of 2024. Assessors will carry photo identification and magnetic “County Reassessment” signage on vehicles.
