Real Estate Tax

Rate and Assessment

Manassas Park's real estate tax rate was $1.405 per $100 of assessed value for tax year 2025, as reported in the Virginia Department of Taxation Local Tax Rates Survey. This is the highest city real estate rate in the survey's City Levies table for tax year 2025. Manassas Park is an independent city in Northern Virginia - one of Virginia's smallest by area - bordered by the City of Manassas and surrounded by Prince William County, but it is a fully separate taxing jurisdiction from both. The rate is set annually by the Manassas Park Governing Body. Under Code of Virginia § 58.1-3201, real estate is assessed at 100% of fair market value.

Verification note: The real estate rate is from the Virginia DOT Local Tax Rates Survey (tax year 2025). Rates are set annually and can change. Verify the current adopted rate at manassasparkva.gov or by contacting the Manassas Park Commissioner of the Revenue at 703-335-8825 before making financial decisions.

Service Districts

Manassas Park has no city service-district real estate levy in the Virginia DOT Table 5 for tax year 2025 - the base $1.405/$100 rate applies to all real estate citywide. Note: the DOT survey lists two district levies ("Owens Brooke" and "Fire and Rescue") under the neighboring City of Manassas; those are not Manassas Park districts and do not apply here.

Independent City Status

Manassas Park is an independent city - a county-equivalent jurisdiction in Virginia. It is not part of any county. If you live in Manassas Park, your local property and vehicle taxes are set by the Manassas Park city government, not by Prince William County or the City of Manassas. Manassas Park sits beside the City of Manassas and is surrounded by Prince William County - three separate taxing authorities, each setting its own rates.

Exemptions and Relief Programs

Manassas Park offers real estate tax relief for qualifying senior citizens and residents with disabilities. Disabled veterans who are 100% service-connected disabled may qualify for a full real estate tax exemption on their primary residence under Code of Virginia § 58.1-3219.5. Contact the Manassas Park Commissioner of the Revenue for current eligibility thresholds and procedures.

Vehicle Personal Property Tax

Rate and Assessment Method

Manassas Park's general tangible personal property tax rate was $3.500 per $100 of assessed value for tax year 2025, as reported in the Virginia DOT Local Tax Rates Survey. Under Code of Virginia § 58.1-3503, localities assess vehicles using a recognized pricing guide as of January 1 of the tax year.

Important note on rate classification: The Virginia DOT Local Tax Rates Survey reports the general tangible personal property rate. The DOT survey explicitly states that "certain items of property, including vehicles, may be considered separate classifications and may be taxed at a different tax rate." The current personal use vehicle rate in Manassas Park may differ from the $3.500 general rate. Contact the Manassas Park Commissioner of the Revenue to confirm the rate that applies to your vehicle.

PPTRA Relief

Virginia's Personal Property Tax Relief Act (PPTRA), Code of Virginia § 58.1-3524, provides partial state-funded relief on the first $20,000 of assessed value for qualifying personal use vehicles. Virginia distributes a fixed annual block grant of $950 million among all localities. Manassas Park calculates its annual PPTRA relief percentage based on its share of that grant and the total qualifying vehicle assessed value in the city. This percentage changes each year and is not the same as the percentage used by the City of Manassas or Prince William County. For a deeper explanation of how PPTRA works, see our Virginia PPTRA explained guide.

PPTRA percentage pending official confirmation. Contact the Manassas Park Commissioner of the Revenue at 703-335-8825 or visit manassasparkva.gov to confirm the current-year vehicle personal property tax rate and PPTRA relief percentage.
