Retirement and Real Estate Taxes

Last updated: June, 2022

We evaluate the impact of rising assessments on Arlington's retirees. We find that, excluding tax relief, the average retiree pays more than $3,000 per year ($1,200 inflation-adjusted) in real estate taxes. The impact of these rising assessments is not constrained to any particular geographic area. It is uncorrelated with income, which likely makes these tax increases regressive.

Missing Middle and Housing Prices

We evaluate the effects of new Missing Middle construction on housing prices in Arlington. We find a modest downward pressure on prices in the townhouse and duplex market segments, upward price pressure on detached single-family houses, minimal effects on the prices of apartments, and minimal overall real estate costs across the county.
