Deadline and where to file
Pounding Mill values are set by the local local real estate assessor's office. Virginia has no single statewide deadline. Your locality sets the date to apply to its Board of Equalization by ordinance, and it cannot be earlier than 30 days after the assessor's deadline to hear objections. In towns, you have 30 days after reassessments are filed with the town clerk. Notice of an assessor's hearing must be mailed at least 15 days before it.
Reading this in fall 2026? Most localities have already closed their 2026 equalization windows. Your next realistic chance is the 2027 notice and objection period, which each locality sets, so check your county or city website early in 2027. Separately, the circuit court route for a 2026 assessment may stay open for a year or more under state law, but in some localities you must go through the Board of Equalization first.
