Here is some interesting information about tax bills in Manassas and surrounding jurisdictions.  The bottom line number on the chart reflects overall tax burden.  This information was presented to the Council at a finance meeting by the Commissioner of Revenue.  This isn’t an argument for anything, just a really interesting chart.

If your browser is mangling the chart, let me know and I’ll upload a pdf.
