Virginia sales tax rate by county

Updated

Every Virginia county has one sales tax rate, but the counties differ. Rates run from 5.3% to 7% on a 4.3% state rate. Within any one county the rate is the same at every address, because Virginia cities cannot levy a general sales tax of their own.

Collected from Virginia's own agency sources and verified September 9, 2026. A range means the rate genuinely differs by address inside that county, not that we are unsure. Each county page gives the components and what the rate does not cover.

Why some counties show a range

Sales tax is levied by the state, sometimes by the county, and very often by cities and special districts whose boundaries ignore county lines. Where that happens there is no single county rate to publish, so these pages give the lowest and highest totals found inside the county and link the state's own address lookup. Adding a state rate to a county rate does not reproduce those totals, because the districts levy in between.
