Virginia applies a four-bracket schedule (2% on the first $3,000, 3% on $3,001-$5,000, 5% on $5,001-$17,000, 5.75% above $17,000) that functions as a near-flat 5.75% tax for most working filers, since the top bracket starts at just $17,000. Social Security is fully exempt at any age; filers 65+ can claim an age deduction of up to $12,000, phased out above $50,000 (single) / $75,000 (married) federal AGI.
A real, possible additional town-level tax layer
Because Vienna is an incorporated town with its own government -- genuinely distinct from unincorporated Tysons, Reston, or McLean -- it may levy its own additional supplemental real estate tax on top of Fairfax County's FY2026 rate of $1.1225 per $100 of assessed value. A specific current Town of Vienna rate was not independently confirmed to one figure this research pass; confirm directly with the Town of Vienna Finance Department for a specific property, and do not assume the county rate alone applies.
Fairfax County's combined 6.0% sales tax applies
Vienna uses Fairfax County's combined sales tax rate directly: 6.0% (4.3% Virginia state + 1.0% local + 0.7% NVTA regional transportation tax) -- the same rate and structure documented across this build's other Fairfax-County-based NoVA markets.
No state estate or inheritance tax
Virginia does not levy a state estate tax or inheritance tax, though residents with sufficiently large estates may still owe the federal estate tax.
