The Lynchburg City Assessor's Office keeps an alphabetical ownership tax roll and assesses 31,418 real estate property parcels, of which 1,397 are exempt.

An official tax roll is maintained each year beginning July 1st through June 30th.  For a copy of a tax roll (land book), please e-mail us or call the City Assessor's Office at (434) 455-3830.

To maintain the roll, the City Assessor must keep current property records showing physical characteristics of each parcel and in accordance with Chapter 18-48 of the Lynchburg City Code, Title 58.1 of the Code of Virginia, and Article X of the Virginia Constitution.  

Property transfers and building permits are processed throughout the year and all parcels are reassessed biennially.  Special appraisal estimates of value for budgeting and rental studies are prepared periodically.
