    Dc Homeowners' Property Taxes Remain Lowest in The

    An Affiliate of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities 820 First Street NE, Suite 460 Washington, DC 20002 (202) 408-1080 Fax (202) 408-8173 www.dcfpi.org February 27, 2009 DC HOMEOWNERS’ PROPERTY TAXES REMAIN LOWEST IN THE REGION By Katie Kerstetter This week, District homeowners will receive their assessments for 2010 and their property tax bills for 2009. The new assessments are expected to decline modestly, after increasing significantly over the past several years. The new assessments won’t impact homeowners’ tax bills until next year, because this year’s bills are based on last year’s assessments. Yet even though 2009’s tax bills are based on a period when average assessments were rising, this analysis shows that property tax bills have decreased or risen only moderately for many homeowners in recent years. DC homeowners continue to enjoy the lowest average property tax bills in the region, largely due to property tax relief policies implemented in recent years. These policies include a Homestead Deduction1 increase from $30,000 to $67,500; a 10 percent cap on annual increases in taxable assessments; and an 11-cent property tax rate cut. The District also adopted a “calculated rate” provision that decreases the tax rate if property tax collections reach a certain target. As a result of these measures, most DC homeowners have seen their tax bills fall — or increase only modestly — over the past four years. In 2008, DC homeowners paid lower property taxes on average than homeowners in surrounding counties. Among homes with an average sales price of $500,000, DC homeowners paid an average tax of $2,725, compared to $3,504 in Montgomery County, $4,752 in PG County, and over $4,400 in Arlington and Fairfax counties.

In July, Trader Joe’s, the novel neighbor- hood grocery, opened its fifth D.C. store at 2101 Wisconsin Avenue, just a few blocks down the street from the long-shuttered Whole Foods. “Everyone has been very nice to us,” said Tom Senior, the store’s manager. “We have also reconnected with some folks that shopped at other locations and they are very excited for us to be here.” He said that although the new Trader Joe’s has been open only a month and a half, it’s become clear that wine and cheese are favorites of local shoppers. So are pet treats. “It’s great to have Trader Joe’s here, and undoubtedly been a factor in the recent bump “We have seen quite a few animal lovers from what I’ve seen, it’s attracting customers,” in storefront vacancies.

In mid-August, the playground was shut down and ringed with a construction fence, the first step in a million-dollar makeover. If the weather cooperates, the project should be finished by Thanksgiving. What Glover Park’s young kids and toddlers will get is a mini-theme park—in this case, the theme is the night sky, a nod to the legacy of the Naval Observatory nearby on Massa- chusetts Avenue. A kid-sized observa- tion tower constructed at the Calvert Street side of the park will be designed to provide a view of ground-level constellations outlined in the play- ground with balance beams and small, colored “domes.” And the walkways will roughly mimic the shape of the Final Guy Mason Playground Concept constellation Pisces.
