Real Estate taxes in Williamsburg will vary by the county (or City!) that you live in. The majority of addresses with a "Williamsburg" mailing address will include homes that are in James City County. James City County tax rates are assessed at $.77 per $100 of assessed value. So, for example, a home assessed at $300,000 would have an annual real estate tax of $2310. (.0077 x $300,000). You can further check out James City County tax rates by clicking here.

There is a portion of York County that will also have a "Williamsburg" address. The tax rate in York County, VA. is assessed at .6575 per $100 of assessed value. That same home that was assessed at $300,000 will now be taxed at $1972. More information on York County taxes can be found here.

Of course, there are homes that have a "Williamsburg" address that are actually IN the City of Williamsburg. Those homes are assessed at .54 per $100 of assessed value. Your taxes on that same home will now be $1620. More information can be found here. The rates here are certainly lower, however, most homes that are located within the "City" proper are in highly sought after locations like close to The College of William and Mary or Colonial Williamsburg. So, while you may save a bit on the Real Estate taxes, it may be a wash as those properties are assessed at higher rates.
