The Code of Virginia provides for the assessment of real estate taxes based on fair market value.

Real estate is assessed on July 1st each year by the Commissioner of Revenue.

Real estate tax bills are provided to mortgage companies that provide written requests.

Each landowner in Mecklenburg County should have a Deed recorded in the Clerk of Court's Office. The information contained on the Deed is used by the Commissioner of the Revenue's Office to determine ownership and assess value to the land and any improvements thereon.

Once each year, the Commssioner of the Revenue prints a Land Book detailing the assessed value of land and improvements within the County.

The Land Book information is passed along to the Treasurer's Office which is responsible for the billing and collection of tax.
