Will you be living in Fairfax County or Fairfax City? If you're in Fairfax County you will be paying the highest property taxes in the state-Fairfax City, highest property taxes in the state PLUS City taxes. Insurance rates high-like everywhere I think- based on age,traffic record, vehicle etc. You will pay a VA personal property tax of 2.14% on the value of your vehicle once registered in the state-annually.I work around the Tysons Corner area-traffic is a bitchnearly all the time with 100,00 new employment positions opening up within the next year, but no new roads.There are up sides, though. Access to everything you could want and more.High salaries-good employment opportunities.
