Under the authority of the Code of Virginia (58.1-3294), DREA request that owners of income-producing real estate in Arlington County submit the Income and Expense Survey attributable to the property over the previous January to December to each such parcel of real estate. The Income & Expense Portal is now live!

The Income and Expense Survey information which is provided will be kept confidential in accordance with Virginia Code 58.1-3. If there is a willful failure to furnish statements of income and expenses in a timely manner to the department, the owner of such parcel of real estate shall be deemed to have waived his or her right in any proceeding contesting the assessment to utilize such income and expenses as evidence of fair market value (Code of Virginia 15.2-716).

All Income and Expense Survey must be certified with the signature of the owner, an officer of the corporation, or the duly authorized agent of the owner. If the survey is certified by an agent, an express authorization from the owner to do so must be submitted with the statement.
